Yes, it's fun looking for internal clues in the books and no, it doesn't often lead anywhere. See my attempted dating of PM in the Winter 2003 Mixed Moss in which I show that the apparent day of the week is consistent with 1932 but the position of the moon makes the year 1933.
About the tide in WD, I've always been puzzled by why the anchor dragged. With a chain rode Jim should have put out some five times the depth of the water, say 20 or 30 feet of chain. That must have been some tide. Or is Jim less competent than we are led to believe.
I suppose it's one of those things that had to happen otherwise there would have been no story.
