Towards the end of the festivities this evening the St. Peter Port Life Boat entered the harbour and moored near the entrance. This coincided with high tide and it was a very high tide. This morning the low tide was at 0.5m and the evening high tide was 9.9m. That is a tidal range of 9.4m. Behind the Life Boat is a floating pontoon which is attached to the inside of the Victoria Marina harbour entrance, which can be seen to the right of the boat. The pontoon is level with the top of the wall and the water is within 1/3 m (1 foot) of the top of the wall. If the sea had been rough it would have been very scary.
