Subject: NA Rally 2018, Hermit Island tides

Hi, Chip and Dick:

The NOAA tide predictions are what I have been inspired to check out to find likely dates for Hermit Island 2018, my favourite sailing place. According to the NOAA tide tables for Phippsburg, ME we get two possible weeks in August, given the premise that we’ll want to exit and re-enter Small Point Harbor with the tide to the extent possible:

The week of Sat 4 Aug 2018 starts us with L tide at 1151 hrs, and by Thursday 9 Aug L is up to 1604 hrs. The weekend of the 4^th is a long weekend for us in Canada. Would the week of the 18^th thus be better traffic-wise?

The week of Sat 18 Aug 2018 appears to repeat this cycle about 6 minutes later each day.

Opinions? Will link this to my W Calendar.

Best regards,

Uncle Al  W3854
