this is
Dry Creek, aka Rendsland Creek. it runs fresh from
about November to May, but what you see here is rising tide influx, making this part of it an estuary. today's tide was exceptionally high, with a big swing from -3.8 feet at 1:02 pm to +13.5 at 8:48 pm--that's 17.3 vertical feet of water rushing in to fill 150 square miles of the Hood Canal inlet in under 8 hours. that's a mind boggling volume of water and it's neat to contemplate the fingers of its leading edge trickling in to cover the dry bed. |
