TURNER<br />
MERIDIAN PASSAGE<br />
OF THE MOON<br />
SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER <strong>2015</strong><br />
Five-year-old Maliah Thomas preparing her children’s table for a sale to benefit the<br />
Carriacou Children’s Education Fund<br />
Brian Lendore, the principal of the Hillsborough Secondary School with 250 children,<br />
said that CCEF enables two (and last year three) students, chosen for their academic<br />
success, to continue their education in advanced studies. Two recent graduates,<br />
Antonia Joseph and Martin Jones, both 18 years old, were very clear that without<br />
these two-year scholarships they would not have been able to achieve the results<br />
they have and want to continue studying and working in their communities.<br />
The Pot Luck Barbecue and the Auction raised EC$12,222 (US$4,560) for CCEF this<br />
year. This is a fantastic result and brings the total donated since 2000<br />
to EC$245,237 (US$91,506).<br />

Crossing the channels between <strong>Caribbean</strong> islands with a favorable tide will<br />
make your passage faster and more comfortable. The table below, courtesy Don<br />
Street, author of Street’s Guides and compiler of Imray-Iolaire charts, which<br />
shows the time of the meridian passage (or zenith) of the moon for this AND next<br />
month, will help you calculate the tides.<br />
Water, Don explains, generally tries to run toward the moon. The tide starts<br />
running to the east soon after moonrise, continues to run east until about an<br />
hour after the moon reaches its zenith (see TIME below) and then runs westward.<br />
From just after the moon’s setting to just after its nadir, the tide runs eastward;<br />
and from just after its nadir to soon after its rising, the tide runs westward; i.e.<br />
the tide floods from west to east. Times given are local.<br />
Note: the maximum tide is 3 or 4 days after the new and full moons.<br />
For more information, see “Tides and Currents” on the back of all Imray Iolaire<br />
charts. Fair tides!<br />
