West Seattle scene: Lowest tide you’ll see till next year

Under the noontime gray sky, the damp silver sand by Luna Park stretched much further out than usual – today marked the lowest tide you’ll see till next year. Just one more minus-three-foot low tide ahead – 12:37 pm tomorrow; we won’t even see a 2.9 again until November.

    Maybe I can find my IPOD I lost a few weeks back when I was kayaking.

      Uh oh, just out of the frame there was somebody with a metal detector who apparently found something, because she/he was burrowing pretty seriously …

    Wonder what they found. I’ve always wanted a metal detector. Sounds like a fun way to get some added exercise and perhaps stumble upon a “treasure”. I wonder what the rules are when it comes to where/how deep you’re allowed to dig…

    Carrie Ann – The Chinese get testy when you start getting close.

    We are about 1,300 miles SE off the coast of South Africa. That’s awesome. I have always wanted to go to Botswana.

    Hah, Eddie. I remember those days of being told to go outside and play, and warned to be careful of how deep we dig, or we’d “dig straight to China”.

Sorry, comment time is over.
