I think that the only information the charts are supposed to give at this point is the location that they belong to. once we know that then we can math a time zone to it.

Over in the HLM thread, Christian Watson posted that he found a near tide chart match to the times on HLM calendar. It looked really close and I also noticed that on July 10th, there was a single high tide. To me, that seemed to explain why there were some overlapping times.

But the thing is that the overlapping times actually occur on July 11th. So I went searching again. Lo and behold I was brought back to Cape Cod. There is only a single high tide in Cape Cod on July 11th and it happens during the middle of our overlapping times.

CapeTides link

So I'm back to thinking it's Cape Cod. There isn't an exact match but all of the time ranges we have from the HLM calendars start and end before and after the high tides in Cape Cod. The closest I cold find was Nantucket Sound.

I'm still not willing to say it's a definite match because there is still a lot of ocean to cover. It just seems very likely to me at this point.

If you're referring to the slice of the moon changing from light to dark, that's just the waxing and waning phases of the moon.

Just signifies we orbit the sun on a regular basis. Smile

Where the "expedition" was heading?

It was speculated that we should consider where the expedition was heading.

The coelacanth in the photo on Josh's site is a Madagascar coelacanth.

"The Coelacanth was first found off the coast of Madagascar in the Comoros Islands on December 23rd, 1938 by Marjorie-Courtney Latimer. The Coelacanth has also been found in several locations in Indonesia, as of 1998, in Sulawesi (Fox, 1998). These are the only locations that live Coelacanths have been found. The Indonesian Coelacanths are brown in colour, while the Madagascar Coelacanths are the steel blue colour (McGrouther, 1998)."
http://hoopermuseum.earthsci.carleton.ca//coelacanth/F9.HTM

Being in the southern hemisphere, the moon's phases, I believe, are not the D - O - C as in the northern hemisphere, but C - O - D, so I don't see how any southern hemisphere location (including all of the abovementioned locales where the coelacanth has been found) meshes up with the charts posted on HLM.

Would the tidal (seiche) chart for a freshwater lake look the same as the tidal chart of the ocean? Coelacanth have been reported in lakes, too...


Just a thought.

not entirely true, i believe they evolved from freshwater to saltwater fish so the current ones only live in saltwater.

Found this interesting on the Coelacanth and their eyes and light;

To quote a section :

Because of their sensitive eyes, these fish prefer the darkness. They are rarely ever seen during the daytime hours or on nights with a full moon

I think that is true with a lot of fish species. XD
