Joe, The nearest thing I have found is the Eldridge pilot guide that covers the East coast from Maine to SC. The only detailed current maps are for the high current and traffic areas around Woods Hole, Cape Code and the Islands and the NY east river area. It has 1 current chart for the Chesapeake that shows max flood and ebb. Everything else is just tide tables. I have heard that raceing crowd on the Cheasapeake has found some detailed current charts for the Bay but I have never seen them. You might check with the racing crowd down your way.

let me know when your going and what boats will be included. You can get tide
tables free at Ace hardware and Westsail in Anacortes. I can give you lots of
info to help your trip if you would like. Let me know. Steve

Hi I am going sailing with some friends in the San Juan Islands. I was chosen
for being responsible for knowing the tides. I am hoping you can point me in the
right direction for a tide tables book with currents. We are launching at Washington park in Anacortes, WA, going to Orcas Island. Any and all help will
be appreciated. I can navigate but I have never had to deal with tides. If you
want to contact me off the list numij@aol.com is the best way. Thank you all for the great posts
