Up the river.

Why does the full moon cause SUCH a high tide? We will have to look that up!! when the Earth, Sun and Moon are in line, there is greater gravitational pull - SO thats why were a little crazier then...were a body of water too!!
Sunshine, warm air, clear turquoise water and a boat...does it get better?
the lily white english folk are no longer lily white!!
