Spring and neap tides are the dance of the moon and sun—springs give the highest and lowest waters, neaps the gentlest change. To read our Mumbai table, match the date and time with the height in meters; for a deep-draught ship like mine, I plan my harbour approach for the peak of a spring high tide. But I tell you, the tide table is a polite suggestion next to the reality of our monsoon swell pushing against the current off Colaba Point. I've felt my vessel hesitate there, the charts and the sea disagreeing, so I watch the water's muscle more than any printed number.
