Thanks for the tip John. www.saltwatertides.com is with out a doubt
the best online tide calculation site I've ever seen, both with
respect to the number of tide stations it includes and it's span of
time (12 months from the current month). Plus, it prints out really
legible tide tables. [I use tide information a lot, and am on a
perpetual quest for the ultimate in tide prediction software and web
sites ;-)

I printed out a weeks worth of tides for Burns Point, Totten Inlet
and they are right on.

For any of you who need tide information which spans a great time
period I can recommend the Tides and Currents software published by
Nautical Software <http://www.tides.com/> which covers the period
from 1901 to 2099 (and that's no typo!).
