The problem

Tide tables are dense, and they get read on a moving deck in bad light.

What I built

A single curve that shows where the water is now and whether your boat can cross the bar, set in type you can read at arm's length. Saved passages work with no signal at all.

What changed

Harbour masters in three ports now recommend it to visiting crews.
