As you know, living close to the Maine coast, in winter, the earth reaches perihelion, the point in its orbit where it’s closest to the Sun. Because the gravitational pull increases with proximity, the sun’s tidal forces are at their strongest. When the moon aligns with the sun during a full moon, their combined pull generates unusually high, high tides. Likewise, on a cold night, when a full moon rises, any water remaining in the motor, is pulled in to the starboard cylinder, where it freezes!!! (AI – SI – BS)
That sounds like something Cliff Clavin would say. 😂😂😂😂
