Oh. I'm a bit 'edgy' today. Still have no word on how my boat faired. I
believe the tidal range for the Chess. Bay is only 2' (?). So 8' above

even
MLW is a big deal here.


Thanks. Now I understand!

6' above the normal HW wouldn't be such an issue where the normal range is
39'.

You didn't even know what MLW meant.

I didn't understand the significance of quoting a figure above "low"
water.... so I asked.


I got an answer, and now I know a little more about the world. I learned
something ... did you?

Yes, those of us with a functioning brain knew that. I believe that
charted depths are given at MLW and it's up to the sailor to know the tide
table and apply it. Maybe that's why that site gave it that way?

Around here, heights are given above chart datum, which is traditionally the
same as LAT. This can vary from one port to another. Today, at Low Water,
Portsmouth will have 2m (6'6") above CD.

Also, we have MLWS, and MWLN but we don't have a plain MLW.
