Interesting shots, as always. I especially like the house on stilts .. if that's what they are.

@-Oy- Re the stranded boats: so is this an estuary with a high tide level change? When I lived on the Maine coast, the tide was 15 feet and at low tide boats were left stranded on the bottom of the tidal river (obviously a much smaller space than you have), so I just wondered.

Pretty much sums it up yeah

The difference between high and low tide today is 7.3m ( 23 feet)

British Columbia Coast. This reef is marked on a chart, but has no marker buoys to warn boaters. At high tide it is completely submerged, and that's when it presents a hazard to navigation. This was back in the mid 1980s. The last time I sailed by it was around 2005, and someone had put a marker buoy next to it. It was not uncommon to see hazard markers put up by locals. The Coast Guard is very good, but they miss things too. In this case, the reef is close to a shore where sailors would not normally go.
