Tide Clocks

Keep Track of the TidesIf you are a boater or a beach lover, or if you know someone that is a boater or a beach lover, a unique tide clock is for you. It is always good to know whether the tide is low or high. Remember the boat goes up or down with the tide, so when loading you want a  low tide so the boat is more even with the dock. I have had experience with tides because I live on a boat. When the tide gets too high, it is difficult to get off the boat. Any boater will tell you, it is important for a multitude of reasons to know whether the tide is low or high. There are tide clocks for just such a purpose. I have one and we make many decisions based on the tide reading. I know I would not like to be without one, and I think a unique tide clock would make a good gift for any boater. I believe tide clocks are good for beach lovers too and would also make a good gift for them.I found the Howard Miller Tide Mate III Desk Clock that sells for $55.27 It measures 6.25″H x 6″W x 2″D. This unique tide clock has silver tone casing and a nautical design. It shows the time and the Atlantic ocean tide. There is a velcro strip for secure mounting. A red arrow shows the tides. The tide movement is battery operated. The batteries are not included. I really like the looks of this one. I think it’s very attractive and would look nice anywhere you place it.I found the Brass Tide Clock that sells for $149.98. This unique tide clock has a rich teak base that mounts to the wall. It has a tarnish proof frame and features a classic porthole design. It will tell you the high and low tides and all the points in between. This clock has a white face with black text, and ocean blue graphing. This is really beautiful. I think this unique tide clock would add class and charm to any room in the home. I think this one would look good in an office too.
