According to a local old sea dog, there is a 50 year cycle to the height
of
tides superimposed on the usual new/full moon / sun distance, cyclic
variation.

has mention of a 31 year cycle on top of the perigean cycles but the maths
is all rather daunting, nice to see reference to one of my favourite words ,
as a word that is, syzygy unfortunately not even any use in Scrabble- too
many "y"s 3 not 2.

But is there any reference to the cycle having been noticed by tidal
observers?

What's the biggest-scoring legal move in Scrabble?


To another article :

There is no Usenet 80-column limit in the sense you mention. There is a
convention on ordinary text having a 72-character margin, but longer
lines can be transmitted if required. Writers/readers may need to
adjust their settings or get better software.

This paragraph will be transmitted as one very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long line, but nowhere near the limit, if any, of this software; I set the right margin at one fathom.
