Dandelion Waits

Footprints in the soft mud indicate a recent visitor to Dandelions mooring as she waits for the evening tide to arrive in Watchet Harbour. the floating pontoons will then raise to accommodate the rapid infow of water which can be as much as 6m (20ft) during spring tides,

Large would be appreciated

Many thanks Rosa, in Bridgwater the incoming tide often leads to a River Parrett bore.
