Poking around on the Windy app this morning I came across what appears to be a new or updated feature. Current data.
Here is a screen shot of Deception Pass data for today. Each of the ship icons is a data point with its own data. It appears you will not need to do the adding and subtracting from the Seattle Base data points in order to time your travel through some of the passages we use. This could be a real aid to your trip planning, if I am correct. I have not cross-referenced the data to my tide tables of the locations I have experience.
Take a look and compare the reported information with the local knowledge we all have. then report back your findings. Can we trust this site data.
On the surface this could be quite a nice tool to use for cruise planning in the Puget Sound. One site with weather, wind and currents.
