    As stated a while back, I am preoccupied dealing with and aged mother.  I am
    speed reading so may have missed the point.  What does known elevation on
    land vs tide vs dip have to do with anything?  Place your feet at the
    waterline and determine your own height of eye.  No waves, you have the
    figure to use for dip calculations.
    
    Swells or seas?  Basics. Small craft, shoot from the top of a swell.  Large
    ship, average peak to trough (adding in height of eye from waterline of
    course).  For extra credit, what if your feet are planted on the beach and
    there are seas or swells?
