yes there is a current atlas for the San Juans available in Anacortes. Better yet ask anyone with Nobeltec and they can give you current information. When you decide on some dates I can tell you exactly what to expect and where as I am very familiar with currents after sailing the San Juans for the last 9 years. Some auxullary power will be essential because you will have some passes to go through without wind and they can run up to 4-5knts.
