Out of high school, I became enamored by Patrick OBrians Aubrey and Maturin series of Napoleonic-era sailing novels.
He captured a beautiful sense of time and place better than any other historical epic of the last century.

Remember the excellent 2003 historical dramaMaster and Commander?
The movie is based on these novels.
Maturin lives life as languidly as the unhurried natural world he so loves to catalog.
I cannot stand to be aboard a ship.
I get seasick as soon as a vessel of any size starts to roll with the calmest surf.
The Tides app on Apple Watch is very simple.
you could see the expected tides at different times of the day and the current water level.
you’re able to check the tides forecast throughout the week by scrolling the digital crown.
Ive tried other popular tide-tracking apps but had far less success.
Its now far easier to customize the programmable action button.
Its much faster than changing it on the app or in the watch configs.
But thats the nature of these things.
Im a very specific kind of person.
As is often said in OBrians stories, time and tide truly wait for no man.
