At Digby, NS... I drove through once, and was awestruck!
The main road goes near a pier. Our timing was such that we saw a fishing boat strapped to the pier with ropes... Not merely tied with a mooring line, but fully restrained like a kidnap victim. This boat was perhaps 30 ft long...
The tide was out, and the tide at Digby is about 30 ft.. so the nearest water to theis boat was halfway across the mud flats, and 30 feet below. Only the pier and ropes kept that boat upright.
These people had quite a hike to reach the dolphins.

At least they didn't get stuck in the Faroe Islands...

Yep, this was on my news tonight!
The residents stacked the mud against the dolphins to keep them upright and they stayed with them until the tide came in and they could get underway.

I spent entirely too long trying to "remember" which state (from the USA) has the initials NS.

If it was spam I'd have gotten more than 2 ads for that article.

I used to volunteer for this response group in NS for about 7 years before I moved. Refloating animals was always amazing and so fulfilling… but when we did necropsies on deceased whales/dolphins, some of the things we would find inside them were pretty tragic.

Lashed to the pilings. That’s why the traditional timber versions of these vessels are so regionally-specific, with a keel and ribs strong enough to support repeated drying, broad enough abaft the beam to to rest upright on grounding, hold her catch and be able to surf home in a following sea but still with enough deadrise to keep way and break sea to prevent her from pounding herself to bits.

It's my home province, but I'll be honest when I say I read the article as MS dolphins.
