The tides in Cape May are anywhere from 6 to 8 feet and at low tide we have seen many boats sitting in the mud; then at high tide we have seen many streets flood. We have seen this little clothing/souvenirs store with about 6 inches of water on the floor several times. They are calling it another "Tidal Anomaly" or surge. The tide comes up so fast that it comes up through the City drain system and floods the street and some stores.
CO's comments: Since we have been in New Jersey we have seen gas nozzles laying on the docks where they were last used. One of the marinas across the street, which charges $3.00 per foot, at low tide you could find your boat sitting in the mud. We saw about 6 boats that were backed in and they were in so much mud they couldn't leave until high tide; not what I would want to do with our boat. We have seen several boats anchoring out or on a mooring ball in back of our boat that sit in the mud during low tide also.
