For the third month in a row we have had extreme low tides.

Mental Floss is still in about 5 1/2 feet on a -3.2 tide. (See white arrow) We can just sneek out on a -3.0 tide.

This is at Breakwater Marina in Tacoma, WA.


There are a few day sailers that are not as lucky.

The marina is nice and quiet on days like this. The stink pots are very quiet!

Interesting how we all have our different problems. Mine is not water depth...I'm in the next to the last slip on a dock perpendicular to the cove...in 72' of water.

Those are great picts, thanks. The brits have a solution for that problem. With twin keels the boat just sits there when the water goes away.

Wow. How depressing for those who like to use their boat a lot. Oh well, I guess the good news is that they don't have to worry about a faulty bilge pump sinking the boat.

Would that be a Westerly Frank? I came close to buying a 23' Westerly Pageant instead of the C-25 but decided it was in too rough of shape for my meager fix-it skills.

Tony- Had no idea you were down at Breakwater. Noeta is just down the bay at Foss. We'll wave next time we pass

Hi Doug,
I guess I always thought you were sailing out of Gig Harbor, and have looked for you there.

We were in Totem Marina until the weekend before the Nisqually earthquake (Feb 2001?). The Dockmaster at Breakwater is a friend, so it is nice having our boat there. Nothing like having a personal guard near your boat.

Which marina are you at on Foss?
