The tides for the whole week are not great. At the Grey cup game "we" talked about everyone being able to be there on Friday, December 30. For Friday the lowest tide is at 6 p.m. at 1.3 ft. The morning low tide at 5 a.m. is a doable 6.2 ft. We can hopefully harvest most of the oysters if we get there early around 6 am. at the latest. We would have to be on the road by 4:30 a.m. (Maybe draw staws and send out a recon team to gather the oysters early?)High tide is at 11:14 a.m. at 12.8 ft. so it rises about 1 foot an hour from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. Boots are needed to harvest oysters above 5 ft. Other options we have are going possibly the Thursday afternoon before hand and hitting the beach at about 3-4:00 p.m. but it gets dark around this time and it would be hard to have our little do in the dark. Friday afternoon's low tide is at about 6:30 p.m.
My personal recommendation is that "Alices' Ten" gather early 4:30 am Friday morning and head out in the two trucks ( five in each cab) for a grunt of a good time!!!
Everyone pleasea reply with a comment to this blog so we all know who will be coming. Unfortunately, some of us may not be able to make it so it would be nice to make any possible changes ahead of time.
Sounds good Willy. I'll be there Thursday night. I'll bring my new crab trap. Have you used yours yet? I think we got screwed.
ReplyDeleteSounds good,too. We'll work out the details before hand.
