North wind, shallow bay, but I have seen the long Islang sound empty one or twice too.
North wind & shallow bay? Sorry, no capiche the significance ... a north wind makes a shallow bay's water recede? And the Long Island Sound ... was it just an extra low tide that drained it? Or some weird stuff going on further out at sea that one would not see "scheduled" in a tidebook? The Atlantic is so different than the Pacific -- I wouldn't know what to expect!
