NavList:

Thank you George for this reference to the 1773 Nautical Almanac.

I did take some time for me to download it, but I eventually succeeded in doing so.

Thanks Again

Antoine

PS : from my home ashore - N4704.582W00202.043 - waiting now for the next high-tide ... The low tide one hour ago was already above 2 1/2 ft higher than its tabular value. Wind is increasing, and has lately shifted to blowing from full West. The Island of Noirmoutier cannot "shelter" our shore from gale winds blowing from this direction ... High tide to occur here at UT 16:00 with a coefficient of 110 (normal is 100, and absolute maximum is 120).

Let us wait and see. However, to "un-stress" some of our readers here, the basement of our home is built at 7 feet above the highest 120 hi-tide level, and - with the exception of tidal waves, one never knows .... - the highest historically recorded abnormally-high level (I don't know the word in English, in French it is "surcote") was 6 feet (only) above the highest tabular 120 hi-tide sea level.

Exactly one month ago with the Xanthia Hurricane, we experienced severe Sea floodings alongside tour coast slightly south from here with unfortunately 53 casualties.

Time is now 11:35 GMT !!!
