Spring and neap tides? At first, I only knew they were the moon pulling the sea. But for our Goa trip, I had to learn: spring tides are the highest highs and lowest lows, neap tides are the milder ones in between. Reading a tide table for an Indian port like Mormugao just means matching the date with the times for high and low water—simple, once you get it.
But I'll be honest, our entire plan for jet-skiing got washed out because my father, the stationery shop owner, read the 'height' column in metres and declared it too shallow, not realizing that depth is always measured from a chart datum. We missed our slot arguing, proving that sometimes, the biggest tide is the wave of confusion in a family from Delhi trying to decode the sea.
