Thanks. I didn’t know either that there are places, where the sea level does not rise and fall twice a day.

I was reading Circe, by Madeline Miller, and on several pages some ancient Greeks wait for the tide to sail away, or watch the sea rising while waiting for Odysseus, and so on. Like, woman, did nobody notice at your publishing house?
