The tidal range in the area is quite extreme, apparently something to do with waters in the Atlantic surging up into the English Channel and the shape of the bay meaning some of the biggest changes between tides in the whole of Europe. It also changes quite rapidly, today seemed to be a high tide for most of the day and then it suddenly drained out to nothing.
These photos show the comparison between today's high and yesterday's low tides.
It's a blustery, wet day today so apart from a windswept walk across to the harbour earlier we have spent the day inside Bokkie. Tomorrow we move on.
