The highest spring tides occur on or near the dates of the equinoxes. If you go hard aground or strand on a high equinoctial tide the boat may be stuck there for six months, unless a crane or heavy-lift helicopter can be hired, or the boat is small enough to move by other less-expensive means. Watch the depths and the calendar where you operate!
