We kept the buoy out of the water until the final freeze, but we are back in and have been logging for the last month.

We finally have the full stack implementation finished and live, with real-time updates to out Floodwatch website: [https://www.stmichaelsfloodwatch.com/](https://www.stmichaelsfloodwatch.com/) and documentation with all our code in the OfE GitHub Repo: [GitHub - OceanographyforEveryone/tidebuoy: Documentation and support for a bristlemouth integrated tide gauge buoy.](https://github.com/OceanographyforEveryone/tidebuoy/)

Or you can just see the 24-hour tide chart, here:

So far we’ve had no issue with interested tourists and only a few encounters with overzealous ducks.

Thanks! If you check out the latest readings, we just saw 3 flood tides in a row. Here’s some photos of what that looks like on the ground:

Having the buoy out there logging each flood event is a huge help to the Town planning office.

Whoa this is really some great visual storytelling.

Keep us posted. I just showed these photos to my buddy Brian, founder at Hohonhu who makes neat dock-mounted ultrasounds devices…check them out here: [https://www.hohonu.io/](https://www.hohonu.io/)

I am a big fan of the Hohonhu team. We were thinking about their system when the bristlemouth pioneer program opportunity came though.
