COTW tides for Coyote are reports for 1.2 nm east of Coyote Point. Are Ken's
tides for the east end of the SM bridge?

Anyway, has anyone figured out which tides are more predictive of 3rd Avenue
tide heights? Some of the COTW low tides are higher and some are lower than
Ken's. For bonus points, explain how that occurs.

Is anyone else finding that the multiple Sherman Island windtalkers' reports
differ significantly from what's on the water? The 18 mph yesterday was
less wind than 14 mph a couple of weeks ago during similar currents.

Bill
