tide-full

Updated: July 23, 2025

Upon reaching our shore-boat, we pushed out upon the marsh waterway. But the ebb had only begun. The marsh was yet almost tide-full, and all its channels were water-lanes. Each little way was like every other, and one could well wander amiss down between those winding walls of sedges. We paddled very slowly, often stopping to let the boat drift on the ebb tide.
