Low tide in Conyer Creek. The creek meanders through the marsh and is only navigable for an hour and a half either side of high water. The thin poles are channel markers and it is plain from this picture that one needs to keep central between each pair to avoid running aground.
Swale Marina Swale Marina, at the head of Conyer Creek, has 150 pontoon berths, accessible for one and a half hours either side of high water.
