Long Island Sound is interesting in that the tidal range varies from
2.3 feet in Noank to 7.4 feet in Greenwich.

Its like a big teetertotter, you can simply use gravity to slide from
one end of the sound to the other.


No kidding? Only 2.4 feet?

It's too bad that big mooring field off there is so
shallow. Then again, if the tide range was more
extreme people couldn't hook up there.
