All votes in. We have three clues with five and four with three. I won’t be home to sort it for another couple of hours. Sorry about the delay.

We have geting @3, jono @8, and paul @16 tied for first with five votes, and ss @4 and 20 and tyke @5 and 11 tied for second with three. Great clues all around. I’m giving the edge to paul with his:

ss: I thought your "sine" was pretty cool.

Thanks Aristo 👍

Well done Paul! Cheers Aristo - very nice clips, something fascinating about the changing tides! Appreciate the votes.

Well played Paul. Some very inventive definitions all round.
Thanks for the challenge Aristo, enjoyed the clips.

I used to live (and sail) in the Channel Islands which have an enormous tidal range of up to 12 metres.

Also sailed there Jono - remember the Alderney Race very well!

Thanks everyone for your votes! Thanks Aristo for setting and the new phrase (for us urban landlubbers). Spectacular videos. Your neck of the woods always seems to yield amazing scenes!
