Hi Folks
I've been enjoying this topic a lot as it's near and dear to my heart. I enjoy a sport called Predicted Log Racing, also known as Cruiser Navigational Contests. Tidal currents are its life blood and knowing what they will be means the difference between winning or losing. I've been log racing since 1986 and I've used every piece of tidal current information there is, you name it I've used it. It's my opinion that as for predicted speed and time of that speed it's a crap shoot. I call it guesstimating. However the direction arrows or what ever the information uses to show direction is pretty close to true. So what ever program you use, take the speed stated with a grain of salt, but it's direction stated will be in most cases pretty good. Just my opinion for what its forth.
