About Oosterschelde / Krabbendijke
The water you see is called the Oosterschelde. It's connected to the sea, so it's salty, but there is no relevant current. The water is shallow. At low tide you'll have a shallow area for some kilometers. Actually it is so shallow that you'll feel ground when you miss your landing. Only at the top of high tide, you'll have the water between breast and hip. Cause of this shallow water the shoreline moves pretty fast with the tide. At very low tide you'll not even see the water. When the tide is high or coming up, there is 'chop' in the direction of the wind. When the tide is low or getting back, it's pretty flat.
