It was exceptionally low tide today. Doesn't get any lower, I don't believe.
Here is a pic of Ross at BS SW. Notice no water on other side of the channel on that grass flat, either.
I didn't see whitecaps on the grass flat, so I didn't think it was that windy, Bleighty... lol.

Have a pic of a hawk in my backyard, too. Too windy to hunt, so he decided to camp out. He gave me the look of "back off or lose your face".
