The method I used to use was to consider that on the day of the full
moon, the luni-tidal interval listed in Bowditch for a given place
would be the time of high tide.

From my 1933 Bowditch, the High Water Interval for New London is
9h30m. So on the  day of the full moon - tomorrow 4-9-09 - high tide
at New London would be 0930 EST or 1030 DST.

I don't have any tide tables here, so would a kind soul on the List
look it up and see how old Nathanael did?

Thanks, Hewitt

which is a better predictor of tide times: the local hour angle of the actual 
Moon or the local hour angle of the mean Moon (which we can imagine moving 
along the celestial equator with constant angular velocity)?
