perhaps some clarification steve...
upon further review, the canal currents don't strictly flow east on the flood tide and west on the drop...mix of both...
this mornings tides (9/5) at the east end:
slack tides
2:09 am turning east
8:42 am turning west
2:34 pm turning east
8:43 pm turning west
low tides
4:09 am
4:24 pm
high tides
10:26 am
10:38 pm
so, the tide was dropping on the west until slack at 2:09 am then continued to drop for another 2 hours on the east until the 4:09 am low, then the tide started to flood on the east through the west turn at 8:42 am and continued to flood for 90 minutes or so until high tide at 10:26 am. i don't know why people don't understand this, makes perfect sense to me...
