High tide

Fun couple of hours having a go a Gig rowing. Such fun and beautiful weather.
Anyone wanting to brave the pub would either need wellies or get wet feet.

Goodness....that is as bad as Mevagissey on a Spring tide......with a big wind blowing and torrential rani !!!!!

[Mags]

Wow! Hope it doesn't get any higher. Glad you had some fun.

[Susan Wakely]

@marlboromaam it may get higher with extreme weather conditions caused by wind and rain. Fortunately that was not today.

[Susan Wakely]

@cutekitty the spring tides have a lot to answer for.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond thank you. Captured your hubby in action.

[Susan Wakely]

@kvphoto thank you. Bottom right, if you look at the doorway they have added shuttering to add extra protection.

[Susan Wakely]

@foxes37 thank you.

[Nina Ganci]

interesting collage, must be a fun place to visit

[Bill]

Not sure how to respond to this. Nice pictures, but could be a tale of woe.

[Ingrid]

Wow! Is it normal to get that high? Not sure what is better: not getting into the pub or out off the pub :)

[Susan Wakely]

@ingrid01 this has happened approximately 5 times since April but strong winds and high tides may also cause flooding. The local are quite robust and have their wellies at the ready and for each high tide there will be a low tide so there is an hour either side of high tide.

@denful thank you. So lovely being on the water.

[Susan Wakely]

@ludwigsdiana thank you. Fortunately the tides are not often this high.

[Susan Wakely]

@bill_gk thank you. Fortunately high tides don’t stay high too long.

[Susan Wakely]

@ninaganci it is lovely and very close to home.

[Suzanne]

Is it seen as a sign of climate change and associated sea level rise?
It looks ominous to me for all the sunshine and stoicism. Great collage. @wakelys

[Jacqueline]

Beautiful collage!

[Susan Wakely]

@ankers70 thank you. The very high tides are known as spring tides when the Sun, moon and earth are in alignment at this time the high tides are very high and the low tides are exceptionally low.

[Cazzi]

Lovely collage.

[Kathy]

A good collage. I like to see all the shots of the places near where you live and the people and their boats. I'm curious. The water get into those buildings?

[Susan Wakely]

@randystreat thank you Kathy. If you look closely at the lower right picture you will see shuttering across the lower part of the door. Some other houses have sandbags as well.

[Peter Dulis]

Nice collage

[Lin]

Definitely high tide - great collage

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely collage.

[Dione Giorgio]

Such a lovely collage and pictures. And very nicely presented too. Those houses look very close to being flooded.
