The delta is 9.52' I can't remember ever seeing
such a high tide here!


The currrent will be difficult too.


In Boston its +11.3 followed by -1.7 for a total of 13 feet. We have a
full moon at the closest lunar perigee of the year. Its only 356754
kilometers away - it was so big last night you could almost touch it!


No doubt, we also had a shuttle fly over last night and it very easy
to watch it with with binoculars it was awesome you could see the bay
doors and wings. Perfect weather here..


Huh? The thing is nearly 90 miles up. With 7X50s that puts you about 12
virtual miles away; I guess it's those bionic Texas eyes you've got, could you
count the tiles too?

Cheers
