- I got a good squirt in my mouth
- I would imagine that there would be a large amount of involuntary gagging
- I don't know about you but I'm not into swallowing it

Unfortunately I have been there when it was worse! We had to literally stand on the drop off to fin up!

The recent full moon produced low tides around zero. The solstices increase the effect. For example, in June we had a -3.8 ft tide. The next super low will be December 13th, -3.6 ft. You will need good lighting to get the picture because that low will be at night.

It has often been all the way out to the end of the pier. But at any rate, it's a long walk when the tide gets that low.
