Google Earth (the free version) has an aerial it says is dated October 10, 2003*, which very clearly shows the tidal channel network in the northern 3/4 of the site. The site appears to be under a high tide as the channels are quite full. This is the High/Low tidal data for October 10, 2003. 5.82 feet is 6/10 of an inch below 5.87 feet, the verified HH water level on April 13, 2003.
I've also attached a Google Earth aerial at a lower tide so you can see the difference in the channels at the different water levels.Historic Tide Data

Tese are not reliable at all, I recall looking at my mothers house with ehr, and trying to tell her that it was on a certain date, but she informed me that the tan Buick was in the driveway, and they had gotten rid of it over a year prior to that date....still neat to look at...
Street views in Google Map are not current -- they are from old aerials. And they will stay up for quite some time. However, the aerials are supposed to be at least in a date range. Google Earth sometimes gives Oct 9, 2003 as the date for this image,and sometimes Oct 10. Oct 9 is interesting because its HH tide was exactly 5.87. Terra Server claims that it's imagery dates are correct, but they do not always have the same aerials as Google Earth.
