Thanks everyone for your help. What I was doing was using MMM-MarineWeather By Grena https://github.com/grenagit
as a template to create a MarineTides version. In my simplicity I was loading the tide predictions from NOAA into a table and trying to use sqlite. The problems caused me to do a better job. Now I link to the NOAA website for the info. This allows the module to get the tide info from any (US) location. Works well. I’ll clean it up and try to add it to Git. May need help with that.
Thanks again.
