I saw a tide clock on ebay today, had a single hand with a 'high' at
the
top, a 'low' at the bottom and that was pretty much it. All this for
the
bargan price of AU$70.

Hello Everyone:
Please help me with this. I have a difficult time understanding
complex concepts..................
Why do people use/have/need/require/want a "tide clock?"
Bewilderd Bob


Saves checking the daily paper for high/low tide...or buying those yearly
booklets..




But does it tell you how high or how low the tide will be? Not likely if
it's analog.


Along the Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia, the tide is only around 4 or 5
feet.
I like it to keep track of the best time to launch from shallow ramps.
