Dave, although Seattle has a tidal range of a bit over 16 feet, our harbors are quite deep so drying out is not a issue. Only around river mouths do we have lots of shallows of sand. This is all in Puget Sound. On the ocean side of Washington, we have large beaches, with rocky islets interspersed, making the coast quite hazardous.

Hi Erich. by UK standards the tidal range at Sdarorough is about average at a maximum of 20 feet at spring tides (highest) between high and low water. Where I am, the range is up to 27 feet. In the Bristol Channel the range goes up to 35 feet. On the west coast of Scotland the range in some places is between 5 and 10 feet. Most fishing boats in those days were designed to dry out at low water.
Just for interest, what's the tidal range at Seattle?

Edit. A quick google tells me that the range at Seattle is up to a maximum of 16 feet, so a bit less than Scarborough,
Hi Erich / Dave,

Largest known tidal range for Scarborough is 19.8 ft.

The breadth of knowledge on here sometimes astounds me!
