New Magothy Tide Chart
I've added a page to Cape Blogger with a 2-day tide chart for the Magothy - specifically Mountain Point, which by my best Google Earth calculation is at the southern tip of Gibson Island (as in, the end of Mountain Road, I guess) - right at the mouth of the Magothy. Some on-the-ball company in Kaikoura, New Zealand called OceanFun Publishing provides this free version of their graphic tide charts, among others. I have to give credit to the Yacht Club of Cape St. Claire for this cool link. I shamelessly borrowed from their good find. I've been unsuccessfully searching for local tide table code and was happy to stumble onto this source - literally at the ends of the earth. It looks like the image below:
I may tweak it cosmetically if I can figure out how to do it, but the information is accurate, down to the moon phases, and moon and sun rise/set. You can click around it to get interactive details at a given time, and it can be advanced into the future. Awesome! Now I can add Kaikoura to the list of places I'd really like to visit one day!
