Spring equinox in 2003 was on March 21, while fall equinox was on September 22, 184 days later. In 2004, a leap year, spring equinox occurs March 20, and if you count the days, you will see that to get there only takes 181 days more.
Spring tides are especially strong . They occur when the Earth, the sun, and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon and the sun both contribute to the tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon.
