Obviously the amount of water flow varies during the 6 hours from low to 
high tide.  Is there an easy way to determine approximately how much the 
tide has moved each hour?  For example, 1/5 during the first hour, 2/5 
during the second hour, etc.  It is slow to start, then gets 
going fast, then slows down again.  Thanks- Paul
