Thinking about this a little more and I don't think your formula would =
quite work as tides are not symmetrical - they do not rise and fall =
exactly the same distance from low to high. It's probably close enough =
though! My trigonometry is pretty rusty but something like y=3DA sin(w) =
+ D might work.

Does that sound right?

And a great spot that is Jamie!
even if the ides are only 9.6 feet!=20
Near the Blockhouse I think - the spot where the
fly of that name originated. Caught many a trout for me and
and I hope many more.
My question is how is the height arrived at. Where is 0.0 meter?
Is it the last low tide or is it some arbitrary mark?
Enjoy the nice Feb weather

For the count we have assigned areas to cover, like a =
