the
2018 North American Rally Hermit Island, Maine |
From: Al [mailto:uncle-al3854@cogeco.ca] 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 4th is a long
weekend for us in Canada. Would the week of the 18th
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 |
