Correct Answer: Option C — 0955 to 1021
Utilize the Tidal Current Tables for Canapitsit Channel. Identify the slack water times surrounding the 1008 observation. By interpolating the current velocity curve, the interval where the velocity remains below 0.4 knots is determined to be 0955 to 1021, adhering to standard tidal current prediction methodology found in Bowditch.
