"Ports and Passes provide tide and current data for the entire Pacific Northwest, including all Washington inside waters, British Columbia and SE Alaska. It is the most popular tide and current guide in the Pacific Northwest and has been trusted for more than 20 years by commercial and recreational users alike. But Ports and Passes does not just provide tide and current data. It also helps the reader understand:
