There has been some discussion about tide tables and their availability. I discovered a program which lists thousands of tide stations worldwide and then pops up the info. It's also freeware. It appears to be very accurate. It can be downloaded from http://www.wxtide32.com/ Chris Banner Thetis Island.

Can you tell us how you verified that it was OK?

I have used this program for a year and a half. I have checked the program against the published tide tables for my area which includes several separate stations which have different tide ranges and times. The program has always checked out on all of the stations I have compared it to. I would suggest downloading it, because it is a good program, and checking it against the published tide tables for your area. Make sure when configuring it that you select the correct station (location) for the tide tables you are using. <Bill> Brought to you from beautiful Unalaska/Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
