High tide, low tide
The tidal swings in northwestern Europe are much more dramatic than we experienced back on the south coast of Cape Cod. Here is a pair of photos, taken from the same point on the (floating) dock, at high tide (this morning) and low tide (this evening). Yowza!

Meanwhile: we are going to remain in Cherbourg at least until the end of the current lockdown, which might be as soon as December 1st. However, we are also waiting for Garcia to do work on the boat, and I don't honestly think that will be done until mid-December. We're also working on extending our visas, which may keep us here for while. Cherbourg is a nice place, but we are looking forward to moving further south for the winter, and being able to sail.
Good luck with the getting to warm and getting to sail.
ReplyDeleteI am nearly still as bereft as if left by a summer love since we brought Moon Dance to Cataumet. Off to visit her today for the first time since she has been put under wraps. Trying to figure out how much of the varnish I can safely manage to scrape off her cockpit and trim pieces before spring. Have learned how to manage a heat gun and Red Devil scraper when out in the open air. Not sure how cool that is going to be to do inside. But at least I have a pretty strong vacuum to pick up after myself. Will keep you posted.
I also miss my best friend on the peninsula and his gals (Bob, Ronnie and Zina) when they go up to Canton on the weekends, but am loving providing foster care to their newspapers!
I will visualize you in the Med. Looks like you have already met some nice folks heading in the same direction. Good luck. So glad you were not heading across the Atlantic when Nicaragua and Honduras got clobbered by those two back-to-back storms. Those guys can't catch a break!
WOW? That is a huge tide!
