Re: [Cal_Boats] Tideminders (Paul and list)

Donald - Not to beat a dead horse, but do they float as I described or will they actually sit on top of the water? I don't know about the others on the list but I know they have built reefs out of old tires so they had to sink them in some fashion. Paul

They float like ice bergs, 3/4 under water and 1/4 above water. Only the top of the tire is above water, which leads me to surmise that it is trapped air under the top edge of the tire that makes it work. In the years that we were at the marina I don't ever remember anyone having a tire "disappear" down the piling and there were many summer days with 80% of the boats out of their slips. Of course, the dock lines were hung on either hardware hooks or nails in the pilings which would provide some support to the tire, but the tide range was 4 feet and I don't believe that there was much actual tension on the docklines while hanging, so the tires were floating on their own!

What a world we live in..... Didn't take the photo, didn't edit the photo, don't own PhotoShop, but we can all watch Fox News and believe I did! Brae, I found the bagel place I was telling you about. La Dolce Bakery on Throckmorton Lane on Route 9. Best bagels ever! When the hell did they build all of those houses on the entrance road to Morgan? Do they know they are on a Superfund site?

OK - to settle this, I'll be down at Morgan over the weekend getting rid of the accumulation of snow on 'Destiny' and will check the docks and send a photo of any Tideminders I find, tyres or otherwise.......(un-photoshopped of course).. And I'll be sure to check out La Dolce Bakery too! Grae Morrison 1972 Cal-29 #435 'Destiny' On 01/28/2011 02:37 PM, Donald Dutton wrote: > What a world we live in.....

Would you be able to tell me the difference between "sitting on top of the water" and floating?

This is why I never trusted the land buyout in New Jersey where farmers were paid to not sell their land to developers. I always figured that this was just the mis-use of our tax dollars to delay the inevitable. Popular pressure will always outweigh correct policy. And developer money will always out produce the voter! Woe to the common boater in LA. Or is that Whoa....
