Welcome
I started re-reading a book I first came across in the early 70s called The Worm Ouroboros which was pitched as a competitor to The Lord of The Rings.
At one point the evil king Gorice is doing serious black magic calling up a demon.when the chamber “ rocked as a ship riding in a swell with the wind against the
tide “
At the time this wouldn’t have meant anything to me but I’ve since learned that large waves form when the wind blows against the tide .
Being above the lock we don’t often see that at Tammy but on one occasion we took a powerboat course thru the lock and as far down the river as Chiswick on a high tide.
Returning against an ebb tide the frequent turns in the river allowed us to show the students this effect.
Last week I mentioned the rescue of Tony Bullimore and have since found this amazing video about it.
