Description
I have been asked how the system of mooring chains and ropes work. Tara you were almost correct in your assumption. The chains are laid down in a grid pattern and the boat owners rent or buy a certain part so then they will attach a mooring bouy and rope to the chain (at low tide of course). To reach their boat when the tide is in the owners use a small dinghy which is then left at the mooring whilst they are at sea. The reason why there are not many boats here in my pics is because it is now winter - in the summer the harbour will be quite full.
Thankyou for your interest. Jeff.

Oh, thank you! :) You have no idea how much time I've spent thinking about this. LOL! What a relief to have more information! If I think of any other burning questions, I'll be sure to let you know. You rock! :)
LOL at Tara! It's funny how something one is brought up with is so very strange to other people!
excellent info
Nice view and perspective..just peace..have a lovely sunday
Fantastic shot...I really like this...so cool to see them out of the water as well as it is in.
Stunning capture my friend. God Bless.
they seem so helpless like guppy's on dry land.brilliant composition Jeff
Awesome pics u are getting from here.
Nice image, I think I would have shot this from lower to the ground looking more up at the boats and then getting the full mountains also in the frame.
Another really fine shot, and it's nice to have the info as too how and why! I figured it would be much fuller in Winter lol Good one mate Rob
Why are the boats covered, are they afraid they will get muddy. Nice photo.
The grid system makes such good sense...fascinating to me. I grew up on Long Island, New York where we had numerous tidal flats come and go each day. Looks like the key for the larger boats is to be moored far enough away from your neighbor not to lean against him at low tide.
The boat owners do not have to attach their boats? Rite? Love the dark blue boat to the front of the left side. :)))) Most excellent capture my friend. :))))) Thank you for sharing my friend. :))))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :))))))
It is a totally foreign system to me too, so I thank you also for the explanation. Fascinating stuff, and great detailed captures!
Your a real "Stick in the mud" today Jeff! ;D LOL! The phase just came to mind when I saw this. Excellent composition and capture! :)
So Very nice Jeff.
A really fantastic view over a big beautiful area.
interesting kind of composition
Ah a very low tide, the sea reduced to the odd puddle! Cool!!
Excellent capture!!!
cool shot
SUPERB POV! GREAT SHOT
that seems wierd that they would leave there boats there when they know the water will drop that low but I am sure it is only wierd to us and not to them. very nice series
Very nice capture
I liked your narrative Jeff and an excellent explanation!
Awesome capture!
A wonderful capture again, Jeff. And thank you for the information.
How unusual to see this empty bed - very low tide, no water ... like a pub without beer! ;) BB
Nice view and perspective, Jeff!Very beautiful POV !
BEAUTY OF NATURE...we have some of the bigest low and high tide in Canada Look >>> Tides in the Bay of Fundy
