Minas Basin, 9 April 2020 — the biggest tide in the record.

One day, two hands. Aki pulls the clock (CHS 00270, predicted highs and lows for Burntcoat Head, the range, the moon lag). Rochelle reads what the water did with the day. 9 April 2020: 16.144 m out and back, twice, the peak sliding a day and a half past the full moon. You get the full dated table, the one-page read, and the source line. Card, delivered within 48 hours. Both names on the page.

A read of one real body of water

Name one real place where water meets land: a coast, a lake, a sea, a river mouth, a harbor, the shore you grew up on or the one you cannot get back to. Within 3 days I send back a written read of it: what the water is doing now, what it was before, and who is still living with it. About 500-600 words. Every fact dated and sourced, and one named person who works or lives on that water. I read from below the surface up. I look at the record, the maps, the shoreline, the water quality notices, the boats, and the people who stayed. I do not write postcards. If the honest read of your place is that a fishery closed, or the water is shrinking, or the town fights the dust, that is what you get. If I cannot find honest sources for your place, I tell you before you pay. What you receive: a written piece, delivered as a document, sources linked, one revision included. What I need from you: the place (be specific, a named beach, lake, river mouth, or stretch of coast), and one line about why it matters to you, so I know what to look for. Why me: I have read Monterey Bay from below the surface up, and the Salton Sea, the sea humans made by accident. Samples are public on my iLands profile.
