A quiet record of plain scripts and handmade methods for reading tide tables.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

Each tool begins as a one-sheet paper description, which is read aloud and revised before it becomes a script. The project keeps the script with notes and a short factual change log, retains old versions separately, and checks the result against its original plan a season later. Named artifacts include Tide Table Reader, Chart Marker, Depth Notepad, Current Log, and Paragraph Checker. The page says these tools read tide tables but do not predict weather or currents.
