MDO:
After browsing a little further into the USC tide predictor web page, at
http://tbone.biol.sc.edu/tide/nph-tideshow.cgi , I found that I was a
little hasty in my mathematical analysis. Colonial Beach, VA is almost
straight across the Potomac from St. George's Island and gives a much
more accurate projection of tide data than does DC. So, here are the new
data:
High Tide: Thu 1998-03-12 2:26 PM EST 1.60 (Patty's original
sighting @3:45pm)
High Tide: Sat 1998-03-14 3:36 PM EST 1.57 (VA group sighting
@3:30pm)
High Tide: Sun 1998-03-22 9:09 AM EST 1.59 (Leo Weigant sighting
@10:00am)
So, it looks like the high tides are when the bird has been seen,
totally reversed from my earlier prognostication. Sorry about that! I
didn't realize that there would be such a huge lag between DC and the
lower Potomac.
Below are the tides for the next several days in case anyone would like
to have a shot at the loon.
