I remember you telling me that the reason we were dragging our keel through the mud on Sunday was that I needed to go on a diet. And now you divulge this proxigean tide thing. Well... I’m gonna get you back though, wait ‘till you see my response to your Bald Eagle blog. This IS interesting stuff though. Particularly since we have experienced proxigean tides in two adjacent months, the last being Dec. 12th. Both resulted in a tidal range of nine feet as you say, but this last one had a slightly lower low tide, which may explain our fairway-furrowing episode on Sunday. RB Huh??
