Mega High Tide

Thursday morning saw an unusually high tide, I was late for work because I was taking photographs. Alas I realize that I didn't get any shots of the hoards of gumboot clad Iqalummiut heading out on boats armed with buckets to harvest clams at low tide.

This week's tide table

The roadway to the breakwater was flooded

Normally dry shacks got their feet wet

There is a bench just to the left of the upturned boat, it was completely submerged.

We usually drive onto the beach here, these fishermen had to wade along one of the old breakwaters to their boat

Normally we drive our cars along the beach in front of the boat that you see floating in the centre of the picture
