There's your answer. The ship obviously turned to starboard. Probably twin screw and one hard reversed.

your joking right that is a tiny tide swing
2006-01-28 01:01 PST 0.60 meters Low Tide
2006-01-28 06:16 PST Moonrise
2006-01-28 06:42 PST Sunrise
2006-01-28 07:24 PST 2.06 meters High Tide
2006-01-28 14:42 PST -0.49 meters Low Tide
2006-01-28 16:23 PST Moonset
2006-01-28 17:17 PST Sunset
2006-01-28 21:06 PST 1.19 meters High Tide
they'll need a lot more then that that high tide will only cause the serf zone to be right against the ship further sinking it in the sand

Are you trying to say that a 6.8 ft high tide going to a low of negative 1.8 ft is a tiny swing? Yikes! That's huge from my perspective. Almost 8
feet of tidal flux.
But back to the boat... I'm sure they will mount a "titanic" effort to float her on Sunday. Maybe they will do it on Saturday, but they will have
just a bit more tide on Sunday to work with. In any case, I'll be amazed if they actually "pull it off", so to speak.

Those tidal swings are pretty small compared to the Sea of Cortez, north end (San Felipe) where 20' changes are common.

I dont think....
....the "swing" of the tide is important here anyway.
What matters is how high the high tide is. And 6.8 is pretty good for this portion of the Pacific Ocean.

Port is to the left, if I'm not mistaken. 
Sun 29 2:25 AM PST / 1.49 ft 8:33 AM PST / 7.22 ft 3:43 PM PST / -1.94 ft 10:00 PM PST / 4.56 ft New Moon

Years ago I was told something that is easy to remember when dealing with port and the other side.
'Red the Sailor Left Port'. The guys name is RED and so is the LEFT PORT side of a ship and sailor is in there because they are always leaving the
port. Also, red is the color of the light on the left side of a shop or plane.

Ahem....in USA waters, it's Red, Right, Returning...
...which means you keep the 'Red' channel markers (lights) on the 'Right' side of the boat, as you 'Return' to the docks (port of call) or if you are
traveling 'up river'. Obviously, the 'Green' channel markers would then be off the Left side of the boat - again, when coming into port.
Not all other countries subscribe to the R,R,R routine, but most do.
And yes, the Red light on a boat marks the Port or left hand side of the vessel - the Green light marks the Starboard or Right hand side of the
vessel.
Easy to remember, as Red and Port and Left are Short words - Green and Starboard and Right are longer words...

I'll drink to that...
...which the Capt. might have been doing, instead of watching the real 'port'...

Story corrected
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20060124-9999-1m24c...
A story yesterday about how the APL Panama container ship ran aground off Ensenada incorrectly stated that "hard to port wheel" meant that a right
turn was ordered. In fact, it is an order to turn left.

How high the tide is this Sat. is the only thing that matters and 6.5 ft is not much for a ship that draws that much water and is burried that deep in
the sand. They migh move it a few feet but 6.5 ft is not high enough to float it.
It will still be there when I drive down on my way to San Ignacio Feb 16th.
OH YEAH
Righty Tighty Lefty Loosey
OOOPS!!! that dont help with navigation.

another oil spill
today closed off most beach access. had to go south on pedro loyola all the way just past where the new extension (currently being built) ends. was
able to follow a path through the dunes to the orange plastic and eventually down to the beach. the festive air was totally absent today. no
vendors, no happy campers. hope the spill was not too big.
also, beginning yesterday morning and happening daily between now and january 31, all 7 tugs and the new equipment will "give it all they got" (about
80,000 horses, according to some) to try and pull her out.
more and more people i talk to think it just ain't gonna happen. but it also appears that the salvage team has a "no cure no pay" contract, so
they'll keep at it for awhile.

You're right. I've been on dirt roads in Baja and on the beach in some remote places and run into people stuck in the sand and always stayed and
helped until they were on there way. one time I drove to SanQuintin in a Deawoo. 'DUMB" and drove down the road by Gypsy's out to the point.
Promptly got stuck. some guy and his wife in a Jeep pulled us out. Turns out they lived about a mile away frm us in SO.CAL. on our way back to Gypsy's
we ran across a truck burried to the windows in the sand. The motor was missing and anything else that could be removed. Just like the cars along
Mex.1 that have broken down or wrecked they get stripped then turned upside down then stripped some more. Cant wait to see that Freighter turned
upside down and stripped and left to rust.
