Precariously balanced on a foot wide keel with no water under me and wind blowing with 44mph gusts.

Damn the PLA and their annual draw-off!

Should I just go to the pub until the river returns? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
 
Under the hull, Lay the mother in law on one side and the wife on the other until there's enough water, this will stop your love tipping either way.

Just keep the camera away from my recovery...you have not seen what I am attempting to get it out with, I don't think it could pull the skin of a rice pudding let alone get the boat up the slip
 
It should back flow on that height of tide , yes ...

Only reason it wouldn't is if the land water is backing up faster than the tide is coming in , which keeps the headwater higher than the tailwater ...
