Oops,  yesterdays high tide may have grounded this boat....


Very high tide yesterday complete with flood barrier closures which make the tide on this side artificially higher.




Taken with Osmo Pocket 3.
Taken with Mini 3 Pro.

Haha. Almost certainly not it's usual parking place.
(Sorry RDB -  MOORING)  

The water is around here somewhere....

Great shot and I bet that boat owner had a surprise when he got to the boat.

Kind of hard to moor when there is no water around.    So in this instance I'd say parking would be the more appropriate description.

Just hedging my bets

You certainly caveated your reply accordingly.  Going to go make some bubbles here in a couple of hours.  I got an invite to dive with a couple of female divers I met while airing up my tanks a couple of weeks back.  They have located a new reef and a sunken boat that I've not been on yet.  Should make for an interesting dive.

Hope the weather stays favourable for the dive

Right now it is absolutely perfect with super calm seas.  With any luck it'll be that way when we get onsite.

Indeed,  its usually the other side of the boat on the mud.

Its due to be high again on the next tide so he may be lucky.

He may have got lucky as the next tide was due to be a big one too.

They'd evidently been playing leapfrog

I was going to walk up there this morning to see what had happened but cut it short when the rain started,   it's stopped now and theres even a bit of blue up there.

The sun is playing hide'n'seek with the grey clouds here.

Perhaps you should motion lapse that.

I'm not feeling the motivation today

Well here's hoping he arrived to the boat at high tide then.

Not much motivation today either,  managed to squeeze out before the rain hit but the wind was wild and landing the mini3 was quite the ordeal.

DowntownRDB Posted at 10-31 05:51

Or at least the tide washed it off the slipway.

HAha I've had that experience, trying to catch the Mini3Pro at the top of a hill when the wind was tossing it about. I trimmed a fingernail or two,

That's also a strong possibility.  Maybe, the owner never knew it was high and dry.

I did that the other day after the ship chasing.

I did wonder if someone else might have moved it so they could use the slip way.

That's also another option as to how it moved.

I like this top down!

Not quite that bad more like feeling the spokes on a bike wheel when it’s spinning.

Yes,   it's best avoided.
