Sharing a note here from 3D fleet member Holiday:

Hello LaDonna and Chris,
 
Thanks for sponsoring such a cool event.  There is obliviously a demand for local cruising events.  We are glad you came up with this idea. Below is a link I discovered last year that helped us a great deal. Tide books for Delta tides are not too be found but the Delta Boating Tide Table below is very helpful. It helped us time our travel over known shallow spots.
 
The only inconvenience is that you have to print one day at a time for each location you plan to transit.  The web site has has a great interactive "map" that shows the location of each of the "Tide Locations" that are linked to the tide table read outs. Click on the tab San Joaquin River at top of the page to access one of the maps (scroll to bottom of page).  So you can approximate which tide read out will be close to your planned location. For example New Hope Bridge and Georgia Slough Entrance give a good picture of tides for Railroad Cut, Lost Slough and the Meadows, etc.
 
I  printed several pages of areas I planned to go on the dates I planned to be there. I figured if I was off by a day it would not make that big of a difference. Hope this is helpful.
 
We are looking forward to participting this year!
