I haven't used WXTide32 yet, but this site was given to me in order to know it. I work with tides, from data acquisition, tide gauge station installation, to its products, in Brazilian Navy.

Love your page and the how to's. I did the Cape Cod to S.America in a 35 Alberg back in 1982-1985. Much of the equipment is what I had aboard, I loved the cold Machine tho it did blow the power pack on a 35 ft sea to St Thomas from Beaufort N.C. I didnt have another problem after they sent the replacement. I built a wind generator in St Thomas to suppl the elect. needs, had a 6 ' x 31/2"x 3/4 inch Redwood blade I made there.It got noisy after 15Knots of wind but produced a steady 18 amps at that wind. I just turned it off while we were in the cockpit, we were the only ones tru the Carribean that made i e cubes!! Guess were all showed up at happy hour..

Comments:
Thank you I will enjoy using WXtide32

Comments:
What I really like about your program is the ability to look at the tides for locations I will be visiting in the future. I don't know your location, or whether you have so many opportunities to sail with other people that you booked solid ... however, i you're in the San Francisco Bay area, send me e-mail, and I'd like to take you sailing on the Bay. I don't own a boat, but I charter from several clubs, and teach at several. I'm impressed with the technical aspect of the program. I've tried to get am itious and learn Java, C++, etc., but I'm so close to retiring that I just don't have the motivation.

We like to fish the flats (thus the name) and shrimp on FL east coast. We have utilized the website for the tides in the past. Just found out about your site. Very nice and easy. Thanks, I understand the work that goes into this stuff. I have dwnld your XTide32 and look fdw to trying it. Thank You for all your work.

Comments:
Looking forward to trying it.

Hello and best regards from spain

Have put a link on our website to yours. We've been using WXTide32 for several years and have introduced many yachties to it .. it's mega-fantastic! Thanks for the effort. Terry and Sandy

Comments:
This is a GREAT site--extremely useful, well-organized, easy to figure out and use, super links (that really work!), etc. Thanks very much for investing the effort on top of all Dave's work. It is very much appreciated!

re: WXTide32 Just wanted to say THANKS for your awsome program. I am neither a boater or a fisher - just a dog-walker-on-the-beach (yes I pick up the do-do). We check the tides before we decide which walk to take. I have customized my colours to match my desktop (one MUST be cooridinated!haha). I also refer to it often for sunset info. Tide info is so hard to find for someone who can't justify buying the charts. Even though we live on the West coast, our weather ch nnel seems to think the moon phases are more important to people and only shows tides once or twice an hour. I have passed the info to a few boating types and they are thrilled! May even earn me a ride this summer. I also posted your site on a coastal birding site. Lots of shore birds feed when the tide is going out. Thanks again.

Thanks for the great tide program... I have used many store-bought tide programs that were not as good as your free version. I hope you will keep developing/updating it. I fly gliders (hang gliders)... and I hail from Cape Cod (Falmouth), now live in seacoast New Hampshire... I can 'appreciate' what you folks are doing... maximizing temporary spatial participation while minimizing the wake. Take care, hope to see you in Portsmouth, NH someday. Scott

I have used WXtides for a couple of years, here in the Northwest USA. In our 24' Buccanneer tides and currents are sometimes more important than wind as we get tidal currents of +- 2 knots in many places and up to 8 - 10 in the various narrows. WXtides as proved very reliable and easy to use. When I have gone against it for "local knowledge" I have paid the price.

Comments:
Really great stuff!! Unfortunately, my home sailing area is the Baltic Sea, so that the moments for using your software are very rare. Think I´ll have to change my location ?!

Comments:
What a great site! What a great tide program! I am a fishing guide on the Florida Gulf Coast and rely on the tide information daily. I find it very accurate in my area which is the west central Gulf coast. Especially noteworthy is the accuracy of the p edictions along the St. Martins estuary in the inshore tidal creeks. Thanks for making it available to download. Capt. Harold Tanner Crystal River, FL.

Comments:
Thanks for wxtide32. Its truly great to get such a useful, program very handy indeed

Thank you very much for your wunderfull program WXTide32. I need it in croatia. But there is a little problem. I need also for my Compaq LTE Elite 4/40C a DOS-Version. Can you help me? Tank you very much. Klaus Buchbinder

Comments:
Thank you very very much for your fine tide program. You have performed a very nice service to the boating community. Thanks again, Herb

Comments:
Very professional page. As a huge fan of GNU, I have placed a link on our yacht club web page to this site. We are users of your Baynes Sound location. Our page is at http://www.island.net/~dbyc (Deep Bay Yacht Club) Cheers!

Comments:
Nice page! Sounds like a lot of fun! I came for a copy WXTIDE, but enjoyed reading your whole page. I was also curious what ham/pc gear you had along. Someday maybe I too will give cruising a try... I love to watch the Discovery Channel shows with Alby Ma gels as he cruises the globe. LEt me know when the pics are up! - Tim

Comments:
Have not had the opportunity to look at nor use the program yet. Just visited your site. got the reference from Miami Y/C site. I am webmaster for Riverside Yacht Club Essington, Pa. & after I look at the program I would like to link it in our Web site. br>

Comments:
Install the program WXtide32 It looks very good

Comments:
I live in Scituate, MA., 300 feet from the ocean. Your program is a very valuable resource for me. I use the Palm V portable organizer and refer to the program all of the time. The last time I updated, all of the tide and current values were modified to be preceeded by the Euro currency symbol. Any fixes in the works?

Comments:
just popped in after getting the tide sofware from a buddy-nice site and keep cruisin man, i have never had the chance but hopefully we will one day follow the sun!!!!

Comments:
Thankyou - now i will know when to go surfing!

Comments:
Many thanks for interesting site and free tide software. I may finf you on ham radio sometime when I find time to repair gale wrecked antenna.

Comments:
thanks

Comments:
Will enjoy this free program as I am collecting free programs for weather, tides, winds, moon phases, etc. Kinda got a hobby of it now!

Comments:
Haven't loaded it yet but will! Looks good, having read the blurb. Is there a version that can be loaded into a web, cos the one I link to has been off line since before Christmas. That belongs to: http://www.yachtingmonthly.com/ybw/search/tides.htm Perhaps there is an opportunity for you there! Regards Richard Spencer

Comments:
Thank you very much for this program. I hope it will help me catch a big Cod from the beach at Holland on Sea, Essex, England.

Checking this still works after reorganizing everything.

Hi there, looks like a great programm. A friend of me recommended it me, and after testing with good results I will put it into my downloadssection from Yoroen's Page :) When I'll do i 'll put a link to your site onto the downloadsection. Keep up the good work :) greetz Yoroen

Comments:
Mike, You were just at my desk and mentioned the tide prediction program enclosed here. Wow! what a kewl program. I'll put it to good use when I return to Honduras since it is difficult to obtain this info while sailing there. The pictures will be ready soon so stop back by. Keep sailing and stay happy.

Comments:
Very cool site. You all seem to have a taste for adventure like us. If you have a chance check out our page and sign our book! M&J

this site has everything i need to know, and everything i dont wanna know, i gotta say this is sweet nectar!

Comments:
nice page thanks for tide table info,and related nav.links

Comments:
Nice site. About WXtide32. I used and compared it a lot of places. Specially in the far east. I'm sorry to say, but it isn't always right. And then I mean, not even close to what it should be. However, after I make a comparison when I'm on a other locatio and it appears to be close to reallity then I use it very often as the program is very easy accessible and fun to work with. Good luck and 'goeie stoom'as we dutch sailors say.regards, John Bruinsma

Comments:
Great software ! And great story ! You are so lucky to have lived the life you have !

Comments:
What I do you can see it at my web site. I'm trying to give a good marine software at the lowest price. I find your WXTIDE32 just fantastic and I would like to include it in the EasyNav CD and make a link from my site to yours. Best regards FRancisco

Thank you, I am Deputy Unit Leader of the Canadian Coast Guard Auxilary, Unit 60, Comox, and have people who have asked about available tide prediction software.

Comments:
i do have no boat tho´ i´d like to. i´m just an angler, and i can make pretty good use of the program

Comments:
We downlaoded wxtides in the Azores in May '97 on our way from St Martin to Ireland. It was invaluable for sailing 'round Ireland and the western UK coast and to;through the Straits of Gibraltar. Thank you....... James, Noeleen & Nicola of S/V SeaL on (currently berthed in Barcelona)

Hallo, I am the former hydrographer of NL. Now involved in electronic charts and in my spare time captain of a 60 mtr three mast schooner "Eendracht". I just downloaded WXTIDE32 (a friend of mine told me about the program and possibilities (he was very enthousia tic)). I will comment when I have used it for a while this winterseason. Fair winds, Leeke van der Poel.

Comments:
i'm a merchant mariner looking for good software on the web which can help me on board.this is the right place for me.and if i may say so good work.there is a place for seamen on the web too.

Comments:
Great page Been crusing mex last 6 yrs why leave mexico

Comments:
Hi all!! I'm a Palm owning spearfisherman and think I'll find your tide calculator really handy as to the choice of dive site for the relevant tide especially in the afternoons when I duck off work a little early to go for a dive.

Comments:
Thankyou

Comments:
Downloaded your tide software. Thank you very much Bob

Comments:
I plan to use WXTide32 to simulate data for high school math texts. It gives nice sinusoidal points. Bet you don't get many visitors like this!

Comments:
Yet to use but excited!

Comments:
Great job on a GREAT PROGRAM! I'm a scuba diver & ocean kayaker on the West Coast of Canada, and I'm finding this to be the most useful fact-packed tide program I've seen yet! Thanx 4 a very useful tool, and please keep up the good work!

Comments:
Great program.

Comments:
thanks from a french indian ocean sailor

Comments:
Great pages !

Comments:
You have done a marvelous thing. I hope this latest version handles the "postage stamp" print problem and if it doesnt; well its still marvelous. During the fishing season, I use it all the time. I keep the email so that I can tip you on any questions and/or feedback. Excellent

Comments:
Still shopping for a boat. Thanks for the software.

After having tested your WXTide on our ice-breaker this past winter in the Gulf of St. Lawrence I am pleased to say that we have integrated the program on a few of the other ships with the Canadian Coast Guard and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Thank you fo a nice job and be sure that we will be trying it out this summer in the Arctic waters of Northern Canada. Once again thank you for the program. Pierre. P.S. it works fine with Windows 98.

Comments:
Mike; I'm working on an application to locate specific harbors. I'd like to incorporate WXTide32, so that when a particular harbor is selected the user could then call up WXTide32 to open and display the closest station to that harbor location, without having t manually select that particular display. Two and a half questions: Can this be done? Is the code accessible through a .dll? Do you have some fee price so I can use your app within my own? david dp associates, inc. 131 spring st ny, ny 10012 david@puchkoff.com 212-941-1441 -v 212-941-0596 -f

just downloaded wxtide32 will let you know later what I think about it, your web page looks great.

Comments:
Thanks for the tide program. I find it very useful and flexible. I have it set up nicely -- and refer to it often. I downloaded it a few weeks ago. I do have one question -- is it Y2K compliant? Thanks, Pete Smullen

Comments:
We've been looking into purchasing a Tides & Currents program to relieve some of the calculations we do, and so your link. We'll give it a try, and let you know what we think. Thank you. LHA, 3rd Mate

A really usefull program that I hope to use in the near future.

Comments:
Thanks for the software. I will be using it to predict tides for Sapelo Island Georgia. We are currently removing unwanted chemicals from the research station there, and need to know when high tide occurs. Only at high tide can a Haz Mat truck gain access to the island via barge.

Comments:
Still dreaming and wishing, thanks for the fun connection.

Xtide is awesome. Wish I had found it earlier. Thanks for providing a great site wit a great item for boaters, waders, swimmers, divers, etc.

Comments:
Just send an email not realizing you had this forum

Comments:
i'm amazed! how could you be at sea for 5 years? how did you support yourselves! the thought of all that ocean, all those ports and people, the sun rises and sun sets, i'm am just awstruck thinking about the wonder of it all. btw. my boat is just a small model.

Comments:
Very interested in your equipment comments.

Comments:
Great program! The only thing I lack is a laptop ...

Comments:
Just downloaded the programme and have had a quick play. It looks promising especially if I buy a laptop for my boat. Thanks Alan

Comments:
Thanx: download was fairly painless, and it seems to run without problems (at least for the first 5 minutes...)

Comments:
Very nice site, lots of information and advices. Wxtide program is THE best I've seen. Congratulations and many thanks. I'll use it continously as we are leaving next summer, sailing for a scientific mission: to check if the earth is really round! The boat name, SDF, "Sans Domicile Fixe" in french, means "with no fixed abode".

Comments:
WXTide is a great prog. I use it a lot Thanks

Comments:
Thanks!!!! It's better than the $95 programs i've seen so far. Well done! Just what my wife and i need for our yearly trip to Prince Edward Island. I'm surprised that you can support a small fishing village like Savage Hbr (where we stay). I'm having a few problems but i'll get back when i'm sure it's not a loose screw behind the keyboard. jim levine @ MIT Haystack Observatory

First I would like to thank you for this great program. You may like to know how it is being used and should be proud of this first reason. 1. I am a Police Officer assigned to a Marine unit on Long Island, New York. I found this program to be extreemly helpful due to our extensive operations in the shallow waters of the Great South Bay of Long Island. After we were forced to navigate the dan erous Moriches Inlet during the TWA flight 800 recovery for 4 months guessing the tides we will now be ready to have one less thing to worry about next time. 2. Secondly, I use the program along with a plotting program to monitor daily progress in my small shellfish business. These two marine oriented areas of my life are greatly assisted by your program so thank you once again.

Comments:
Mike, Thanks for your efforts porting XTide to Windows. Great job on a really useful application!

Comments:
Thank you for the download of tide32. We are heading south from SoCal waters Winter'99.

Comments:
I liked all the British Columbia stations, since I fish Rivers Inlet, and you can't drive there! I like the price...all tidal information should be free. This is safety information for all mariners. No, No I don't use this program for absolute reference, just as a "I'm glad I know".

Such a wonderful program in detail and ease of use, and to top it off, it's free...Life is good!

Dear sir, I was having problem of opening WXTide32 after I have successfully downloaded the file. Anyway do you have marine tide table for Malaysian water ? I'm from Malaysia and always go fishing at the west coast of Malaysia and sometimes the east coast too . Just wondering if with WXTide32 ... will it help for me to plan for fishing trip ? Basic lly I just need a low & high tide of Malaysian waters & it will be better if lunar / moon phrase is available. Ps: Even though I haven't got the chance to open the WXTide32 yet but I am excited to try it out as a reference for marine water tide table. Thanks & Best Regards Edward Wong.

Comments:
Nicely done program. Future features I think would be of interest: currents, option to add horizontal lines (water height)across graphs, cursor tht snaps to curve and continually updates water height information.

Comments:
Thanks for a great program. It will be a key part of our cruising software. Currently we are preparing for a cruise beginning this November from San Diego to New England via the Panama Chanel. So far our web site just documents the preparations.

I just want to thank you for the wonderful tides program. I have just downloaded it and am so grateful that you would provide such a useful pgm as freeware. Thanks so very much. We are preparing our Alberg 37 for offshsore and this will be a part of the effort. We live aboard in Bellingham, WA. Our first destination area is the Caribbean. Departure year is 2000. Thanks again, Tom

Comments:
Thanks for all the good work you've done porting Xtide to Win 95. I love it and will use it regularly to fish out of my home port (Port Macquarie, Australia). I'm one of the owners of Downunder Lures, a fishing lure manufacturing company. One question: When I print the WXTide32 graph it comes out very dark and compressed on the page. Can the program be tweaked to fit the graph to an A4 page? Thanks again. Rob

Comments:
I am sure this is a very good program, and we will be testing it over the next two months on our winter cruise in the gulf of St. Lawrence. Thank you for the program.

Bedankt voor de Xtide getijgenerator

Hello Mike, Joyce and Pumpkin, Long time no see. I just came upon your site as a link from the Latitude 38 site. Jan and I moved to Arizona in '94. Still have a boat in Ballena, next to Richard and Sharon. Will chat more later. Best wishes, Oli
