The first one gives you the tide or current predictions for the first place in the database that matches your entry. The second option gives you a list of database entries that match, and allows you to choose which of them to display. The "show" button is labelled "Show tides for ->", but will show tides or currents, as appropriate for the selected location. It happens that the first listing for "San Francisco" is "San Francisco Bay Entrance (Golden Gate), California Current", so option 1 shows the current tables. You need to use option 2 to select one of the three (or more) tide stations. -- Peter Bennett, VE7CEI Vancouver, B.C., Canada GPS and NMEA info: http://vancouver-webpages.com/peter Vancouver Power Squadron: http://vancouver-webpages.com/van-ps

Ahoy, Listees!! It's storage time for many here in the northeast, but many Listees are headed south for the winter season, and other Listees boat the year 'round, or at least most of it, in their home location. Ever wonder just how many fellow Listees you pass each day, in harbor or along the ICW? Resolve this burning issue with a high quality, reasonably priced, and stylish Trawler World List Burgee! As I've pointed out before, and you list veterans are well aware, this will be the best and easiest point-zero-two-seven boat units you'll ever spend! The price for the TWL Burgee is just $27 each, including shipping and handling. For the benefit of new Listees, or for those who may have forgotten, I will reprise some burgee information in the interest of comsumer awareness. These burgees are of very high quality and steadfast colors. The size is nominally 12" x 18", but in actuality they come out a little larger. I've had mine since '99 (I think) with no noticeable fading or wear, but I'm in New England, where the season is short and the sunshine non-aggressive. The heavyweight denier nylon will stand up to a great deal of wear and abuse. Edges are hemmed and triple stitched. Header is a doubled nylon canvas type fabric, with multiple stitching and brass grommets. The design is NOT printed, but is actually pieced and stitched onto the burgee body. All the pieces are cut on computer driven laser cutters, yielding consistent dimensioning and precise edging. Ordering your fine and new Burgee is easy. To order, send payment of $27 for each Burgee ordered. Acceptable payment methods are check (on a US bank), money order, and now, PayPal. Note: 1) Payments made through PayPal.com can be made easily with a credit card if you wish, or with cash or a check through your own PayPal account. See PayPal.com for details. PayPal payments can be made in US or Canadian dollars, pounds sterling, euros, or yen. Make the Paypal payment to my email address -- john.gaquin@verizon.net 2) Payments made directly to me by mail must be by check or money order, and must be in US dollars. I am not able to accept credit cards or non-US funds on payments made directly to me through the mail. Additional pointer: The burgee price is $23, plus $4 s&h, for a total of US$27. This price applies only to burgees sent to North American addresses. Mailing cost to other destinations will be determined as necessary. Make the check or money order payable to me personally, John Gaquin. To pay with PayPal, go to www.paypal.com and follow instructions to make payment to my email address john.gaquin@verizon.net . Send your order and check / m.o. to: John Gaquin 2 Koala Bear Lane Westford, MA 01886 USA All of this is pretty well explained on the Trawlerworld webpage at http://www.trawlerworld.com/burgee.htm , except the PayPal part, which hasn't been posted there yet. Dawdle not! Act with haste, and you can be proudly flying your Burgee in short order! Just do it! If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to email me. Smiling Regards, John Gaquin TWL BurgeeMeister
