Passage Planning Software

Within UK waters tidal passage planning is important. Without taking tides into account you can end up miles away from your intended destination. If you are simply following your GPS you are obviously pointing your bow at your waypoint which is a fixed point on the ground but the whole sea you are floating in is moving away from it sometimes at several knots .You can easily approach your waypoint from the wrong direction and spend unwanted time at sea. For these reasons you should make use of the tides and undertake a bit of tidal planning and steer in the right direction to counter the effect of the tides and predict what your likely course over ground.
