Tidal bores suck. Hard.

A guy working at the Burncoat stop off had really recommended seeing a tidal bore(1) at Truro (he also recommended Rita McNeil’s teahouse, so we should have known something was up). After hanging around Truro for almost an entire day we were totally let down. Tidal bore rafting occurs in areas where there are already rapids. This thing was like 30cm and didn’t even dominate on any unsuspecting birds.
