Try to arrive around slack water for easiest docking. Monitor currents and plan to arrive/depart around slack water for easiest access to slips, which are perpendicular to the currents. Current timing is about 1 1/2 hour after the tide. Important Notes: The current runs in a crossing direction to the docks and at peak could be as much as 4 mph. Be sure to arrive at slack tide!
