I honestly don’t know why, but I find this such an incredibly charming picture. Thank you for sharing it, OP!
I’m confused, why does this tide clock use a 10/20 hour duration instead of a 6/12?
Tide is 80% of peak right now… Tide is 60% of peak right now… Tide is 40% of peak right now…
Yeah but 80% of peak low tide seems weird. The less low tide you get means the higher the tide?Nevermind I looked closer and it’s clearly labeled ‘hours’ so it’s more of a countdown than a percentage, which makes total sense.
Ah, yeah, you’re right, I didn’t notice the hours label either. So yeah, percents don’t make sense. Good call.
It’s also ８-６-４-２-０-８-６-４-２-０… as opposed to ８-６-４-２-０-２-４-６-８-10. But is low/high tide not every 6.2 hours or something?
Not sure, never thought about it. I’m sure there is a reason as that town has some of the highest tides in the world. Digby is located in the Annaoplis Basin, which is in the Bay of Fundy, which claims the highest and lowest tides. The tides are closly watched as it is a fishing town and boats can be beached alongside the pier.
