Tide Harbour

One small harbour, one control, six metres of patience.

An illustrated harbour at the current tide A stone harbour wall with a ladder and tide gauge, a moored red boat, a crab on the mud, a gull on a post, and a harbourmaster's hut on stilts. HARBOUR Patience
Mid tide
Ladder rungs still dry: – Boat: – Crab: – Gull: –

Drag the slider (or use the arrow keys) to move the sea between low and high water. The mooring rope slackens as the boat rises, the ladder disappears rung by rung, the crab retreats to its burrow, and the gull on the post has a firm limit. At the very top, someone new looks in at the harbourmaster's window.
