Low Tide Celebration opens new Lighthouse Exhibit

This year, our Island Low Tide Celebration will be on Sunday, 23 June 2013, and of course, it will be at our most popular and most used park, Point Robinson. The tide this year will be at 3.4 feet below datum, one of the lowest of the entire year.
 
The significance of that very low tide is that we will be able to get way out on the mudflats, and see and study the animals that only can be seen at the lowest tides. In other places, and from other writers you can see more descriptions of the activities, the people who will provide them, and where at Point Robinson they will occur. For me, it is to provide a short and pithy descriptions of tides, and why they happen, as I have done every year that we have been having this celebration.
 
The Keepers of Point Robinson will be opening a new exhibit, in the lighthouse, called, "Whistles, Horns and Lights". It will open at Low Tide Celebration, and contains photographs of equipment used at Point Robinson from 1885. This exhibit is mounted with the help of the Heritage Museum, and contains some photographs never seen before in public.
 
So come to see us for this, our latest Low Tide Celebration. I will be in the lighthouse giving information about our own lighthouse, and lighthouses world wide, in general. I look forward to seeing you then.
