I have just found this series. Very very helpful and extremely well presented by you both. I live and boat regularly in BC and you are spot on with your reviews. Well done!
tidal rapids should be feared in a sailboat or displacement keel. Some rapids at 6 kts take more then slack to get through, and many times due weather currents can be delayed or changed, or even heavy fresh water runoff can sit on the top and raise hell.
Just finished reading an article a few years old in Pacific Yachting of a couple using Ports and Passes for a Hole in the Wall slack. The time was something like + 54 minutes, the only problem was, upon arriving at Hole in the Wall it was critically obvious something wasn't right - a big current. When investigating they found Ports and Passes had gotten it wrong at that date and it should have read - 54 minutes. You can imagine the angry email that was sent off to the P & P's people.
Excellent info! Been thru the straits several times...can never learn too much!

There's a mention of Port Harvey Marina in this video, which I think has gone out of business since the passing of the owner.

Seems like it'd be helpful to create a spreadsheet that does the calculations automatically, eh?
