On a Shout (pips)

The Eyemouth Trent Class all weather lifeboat "RNLB Barclaycard Crusader" off to a shout on an extremely low tide in fact there was not enough water under the boat for it to clear the harbour entrance without many minutes shunting and disturbing sand from under the keel (pip 1) before finally forcing itself free and into open water (pip 2)

Sounds very much like a job for the dredgers and a good piece of Roving Reporter. All the activity has raised spectator interest as well, Nice job Roger.

Thank you Maurice, it certainly seems that climate change is producing more and more very low tides

Superb series, Roger. Was it a temporary, extreme low tide, or does the extremely low water level, like elsewhere, have to do with climate change?
