About this piece
On the Vineyard, tide decides things: whether the cut at Katama is passable, when the bass bite turns on at Wasque, how much beach exists at Lucy Vincent by afternoon. The currents between the island and the Elizabeths run hard enough to have earned every local's respect. This clock's hand makes one lap every 12 hours and 25 minutes, matched to the moon, so it holds the island's rhythm after a single setting at high water.
A fixture for the screen porch, next to the beach permit and the sandy shoes.
The island's harbors and shoals carry full relief on the Martha's Vineyard 3D chart.

How the water becomes wood
One hand on this wall answers to the moon, not the hour.
The tide hand turns once every 12 hours and 25 minutes, the lunar cycle. Set it at your local high tide once and it tracks from there, over the carved, hand-stained shoreline of Martha's Vineyard.
For the wall you pass on the way down to the water.
Mudroom, kitchen, the wall above the boat keys. Birch face, hand-stained sea, quartz movement, one AA battery, ready to hang.
