Did you ever wish you could automatically add all the low tides that were actually *good* for field work during a long field season into a calendar? For the few of you who said yes, I spent my morning writing a blog entry to tell you how to do just that! https://villesci.github.io/posts/2025-02-20-tide-calendar/21 Feb 2025 18:57 +0000at://did:plc:4dat7wt4dwpdpjabqkhfpj4p/app.bsky.feed.post/3lipiccgv7k24
