Tides

Last night I walked along the river at low tide. I have walked along the river a few times since I've been here, but last night was the first time I had done so at low tide. It was fascinating to see boats hovering in the middle of the river above the shallow water beneath. Many boats seemed to balance on their keel and/or rudder. Some smaller boats rested at an angle and were only kept from falling by having been tied to the docks. Once again, this was one of the rare moments that I wish I had my camera with me. Luckily, there should be plenty more opportunities for this experience.
