Moonrise 4 pm local time
Moonset 4 am local time

Approximately when is high tide? [ 1 pt ]


I've no idea!


Cherbourg is almost due south of Portsmouth, by about 70 miles. Their
Moonrise/set times will be almost identical. However, there is a 3 hour
difference in their HW times.

One lash for asking a silly question.


Its not a "silly question," its a trick question, which can't be answered with
one more piece of information. The key is that every sailor should know the
Establishment (or Lunitidal Interval) for their home port, and others they
frequent. Do you know yours?
