It's hard to believe that 35 years have gone by since  Marine Mate of Lindenhurst opened their doors. Many boating supply companies have come and gone. Marine Mate has withstood the test of time because they know their south shore customers needs. Stop by on April 6th for their big sale and grab a hot dog too.

There are are many tide prediction apps for the iPhone and Android and believe me I have tried many of them. I now have a current favorite and it's simply called High Tide and it can be found on the Google play store and Apple app store. I like this app for it's speed of finding tidal information for you current location. This app uses your phone's location and finds the closest tidal prediction station without having to go through a search process or scrolling through a map then clicking around. When your on a rocking boat you will appreciate the simplicity. Android users have the added feature of a home screen widget which you set the location for. This widget displays real time tidal information. Another nice feature is no cell service or Wi-Fi is required to use this app. This is a paid app and it will set yo back .99 cents. My first tide clock coast me $40 and it was only good for one location, well worth the buck!
