North Carolina Tide Charts with Moon Phase

Good Online Tide Charts are HARD to find.
Works from Cape Lookout, North Carolina to Little River, North Carolina.
Wrong group, Dave.
The majority here either do not own a boat, own a boat but almost never
use it, or use thier boat regularly but would rather talk politics,
etc.
Sadly enough, this will probably never be a boating newsgroup again.
The majority prefer chaos or a chatroom atmosphere. Great group to find
out what so-and-so ordered for dinner last night, or observe all the
Little Limbaughs and Mini Moores parroting their assigned talking
points. Looking for boating content here is like trying to watch an old
black and white TV with bent rabbit ears. All the fuzz, flipping, and
snow make it just about not even worth the effort.
Then there are the occasional spammers. Can we assume you have no
financial interest in any of the sites you refer to in your multiple
posts?
You're sure doing your part, Chuck, to discourage discussion.
Speaking of financial interests, got another advertorial for us?
Not any time soon. I'm weary of being Don Quixote. Rec.boats will
always be circling the bowl- a lot of people prefer the daily exchange
of crap barbs to any discussion of a topic they find as boring as boats
or boating. Not going to push the rock uphill for at least a while.
May stick around, may not, don't know, don't care, and nobody else
cares either so it's of no consequence either way. But I won't be
launching OT threads, and I'll try to avoid getting sucked into those
launched by others. Just no more boating related threads from me,
either.
As you illustrate so clearly, the majority don't want the rec.boats
chatroom and political soapbox society cluttered up with boating talk.
Speaking of writing things:
Next time I'm back east I'll look you up and do a good report on your
lobster boat. Been a long time since you mentioned that here. You ever
going to come clean on that issue? It would be good for the soul. :-)
