Every year, some American comes up the Bay and through Reversing Falls 
without changing their clocks. They think they're going through in slack 
tide but are actually off an hour and sink their fool boat. We've got a 
jet boat out there now that we use to rescue them (nothing to be done 
for their boat at that point though). When it's not saving arses, people 
pay to run through off slack tide for fun. :P
