Recent low tides on Cambridge Creek, Thursday Jan. 8, 2015

Here are some photos from Thursday, Jan, 8.

The tide dropped below MLLW by about 20 inches.

It was a triple effect: predicted low lunar tides, deep freezing in tributaries, and a NNW wind between 25-35 knots. High winds were persistent for about two days.

Many boats were hanging on their lines making it very difficult to board or slack the lines..

 Shallow water near the bridge on the west side.

 Red Buoy 6 is is north of the creek.

 Snow Beard on stern. This boat was hanging on its dock lines.

Another boat hanging on on its cleats and dock lines.

 Wind and wave splash at Great Marsh.

 Deep Harbour Marina. 

 Deep Harbour: Note that the ladder which is normally wet is about three feet above the water's surface. These ladders are placed to help accidental swimmers out of the water.  Good luck today.

This was from Dec. 12, 2012.  

Almost 7 feet higher than Jan. 8, 2015.

No need for a ladder that day.
