Seas the day! - Tidal change


Growing up in a coastal town and spending my holidays on my parents boat you would think I would know more about tides.  I wasn't interested back then and took it for granted that the tides came in and out.

Our boat is moored at Breakwater Marina, Townsville on a floating pier. The ramp onto our pier is constantly changing from steep to flat and everything in between.  I knew that tides were due to do with the gravitational pull of the moon but I was curious to find out more.

Today we are lucky to have the internet, in five minutes we can learn something new. Check out this YouTube crash course on tides clip if you are interested?
