"Meet at the Beach" Tides

In Response To: Boatbuilder's "Meet at the Beach" (Rob Macks)

At Jay's suggestion I just looked at the tide situation:

Tide:
Day Time Ht. Time Ht. Time Ht. Time Ht.
16 Sa 1215am L 0.7 608am H 2.4 1210pm L 0.6 638pm H 3.0

This puts low tide at mid day. Part of the inlet near the put-in dries out a bit at low tide. We could change to the week before or after which puts the high tide at mid day.

Any thoughts?

: Nick and I and Jay Babina, and Eric are thinking about getting together for
: an informal one day "meet" on the Connecticut shore on June 16.
: This would be just a show up and talk and paddle, brown bag lunch kind of
: thing. People can bring the boats they've built and people interested
: could have the chance to see boats and builders, ask questions and paddle
: a boat.

: What do you think?
