My heavens!!  The are many locations with only one high water per day there
are many points with NO high water at all.

Read my lips .. or at least read my web page.  (The page is not finished --
alas there is an error there -- You get an extra point if you find it.)

There is not much point in discussing the ocean tides from the point of
view of a general physics text -- Those texts are wrong!  EG there are NO
tidal bulges!
