Having suffered justifiable crew derision for grounding during one night at anchor some time ago. (the rock moved didn't it!) and suffering the frustration of trying to find out quickly what the state of the tide was and indeed what the actual time was, in order to determine how dire our situation was (not very as it turns out) I was delighted to receive a tidal clock at Christmas.
I have to say, that this is one of the most useful bits of kit on the boat. A glance at it now tells us whether the tide is ebbing or flowing, high or low etc. (and we've managed to avoid grounding since
)
I would recommend one. ( I don't sell them!)
