The tide has never once waited for anyone's words.

The hour the dawn tide runs lowest is fixed. Anyone who argues about it all night has never held an oar.

UlfridChief, counting knots is holding an oar too.
ArnketilA knot doesn't push water.

AslaugWater runs low, sure enough. The trouble is, the fog doesn't listen to you.

One mark on the tide-board was off. If someone touched it, speak now.

Left elsewhere

A broken beat means a new hand's picked up an oar.

If your hand shakes, choke up on the spear. Hold it long and you'll drop it in the water.
