There’s no fun involved in running aground. Here’s how you can minimise the risk of it happening
If you ever dream of circumnavigating Australia, knowing how the tides vary as you move around the coastline can be vital.
Tides, like the weather, are another part of boating that anyone who takes to the helm has to factor into the trip.
Not only are there the effects of tides rising and falling, but environmental factors such as distant low-pressure systems sucking all the water away, wind pushing against tides to create uncomfortable conditions, and currents as water flows from shallow sections to deep.
Understanding tides is particularly important if you plan on navigating coral reefs such as that dream trip up to the Great Barrier Reef where coral-fringed safe anchorages are generally inaccessible at low tide.
