7:30 - Tide check

The Harveys live by the tide charts, their plans dictated by the bay’s water-level rise times throughout the day.

“Out here, it’s like we’re in touch with a different measure of time. It’s beautiful at high tide, when you’re floating and the water is all around you, but then we appreciate the low tide too: The mud summons the herons and sandpipers out to look for food.” –Matt
