When the tide goes out

[MontyMariner]

. . . It goes out

 

[NormanS]

Yes, but where does it go?

 

[oldmanofthehills]

Heartens an old bristol channel sailor to see such mud. But its not Somerset though the tidal range seems substantial, so not sure where it might be

 

[Blue Seas]

Most of it goes to the Moon, but some goes to the Sun as well. 6 hours later they get fed up with it and start sending it back (I did a course).

..l'm thinking Jersey.

 

[trapper guy]

they dont make tides the way they used to make tides, in my day tide were real proper tides

 

[Mister E]

On the Wirral the scousers nick it.

 

[trapper guy]

looks a little like watchet where i am now, though it way much muddier here than there, that place isnt trying very hard at all

 

[oldmanofthehills]

Tis not Watchet as not completely fouled in mud

 

[Gurrig]

Someone pulled the plug out

Yep.

Rade de Paimpol this afternoon

 

[Chiara’s slave]

I do like to see a baby Dragonfly resting on the mud.

And it looks a bit like Lyme Regis to me.

Yes, St Aubins. Much nicer than the brussel of St Helier plus a very friendly YC who served a good two course lunch and dinner for £25.
Moving on today for St Cast, an E F4 is promised

I was taught that the tide 'goes out' and 'comes in' at seaside resorts. It gives you good wet sand for sandcastles as it 'goes out' then 'comes in' to wash them away. Surely as sailors we say 'falls' and 'rises' for vertical movement, and 'ebbs' and 'floods' for horizontal?

Unfold me that deckchair while I remove my collar, take off my socks and knot the corners of this handkerchief to keep the sun off my bald patch while I wait for the tide to come in.

Or am I hoplessley out of date in my terminology as I am in so many other areas of lfe?

Are you calling MontyMariner a Cnut ?

Boats seem to sprout up from everywhere in Jersey

 

[Sandy]

Somebody needs to tell this chap.

Somebody needs to tell this chap.

if he needs telling then should he really be allowed near a boat without supervision of a responsible adult?

So that is how you calibrate your log for speed over ground. I'm guessing, since you can see the legs, that this boat is restricted to a walking pace when sailing over dry(ish) land.

They are not legs. They are foils
