Frank- this is off topic for this blog, but I wanted to ask if you have any idea why we seem to be having a months worth of very high tides here on the Upper Choptank and Tuckahoe Creek. Its been going on day after day, super high tides one after the other. What gives. Thanks. Charlie
FR: My guess would be a combination of moon and winds. But I'm checking with the NWS. Be back with an answer (I hope) shortly.
