When I lived in Wales, the tidal range was 26 feet and all boats were
grounded for half a day. A boatsman could slog out to his boat at low tide, put his
muddy boots in a locker, brew a nice cuppa tea, and wait until the tide came
in. After a half day's sail, he would repeat the process in the reverse
direction.
