days. It is a waterway that you have to think about before heading
toward willy nilly. According to NOAA the average Flood is 4.0 knots
at 070 degrees True, the average Ebb is 4.5 knots at 250 degrees True.
The day we go we might see 5.0 knots of current.
The Canal is about 7 nautical miles long, so in slack water it would
take us a bit over an hour to get through it. With maximum current we
would be through in about forty minutes. Against maximum current it
would take over four hours. (For you purists, we recognize you
wouldn't have maximum current for this length of time.) Charmed
intends to enter the Canal at Slack before Flood.
