Canoe at High Tide

Posted on August 3, 2011 | 3 Comments

Tied up at high tide


Last night was a perfect summer evening at Treasure Island. Perfect for everything but canoeing. Due to its minimal keel, my 15-foot Coleman Outfitter gets blown sideways by any wind exceeding about 5 knots. So after a brief battle against a stiff breeze, I brought the canoe back in and settled for a picture of a moored canoe instead (see photo). At 15.5 feet, the tide was one of the higher tides for August. The picture was taken a few minutes before high tide.

    Nice looking canoe. Must be pretty heavy though. Where do you keep it when it’s not afloat?

    What no Moby Duck floating along beside. Things sure look different at high tide.

    Actually the canoe is light since it isn’t made of fibreglass or aluminum. There’s a place to store it just to the left of and above the concrete bulkhead (shown in the bottom left part of the photo).
