: reads:
: "I See the Moon (and the Moon Sees Me). The tides are affected
: by the gravitational pull of the moon, and the cycle of high and
: low tides follows the same 29-1/2 day cycle as the phases of the
: moon. Accordingly, the tide dial on the Seafarer can be used to
: show the phases of the moon, from new to half to full, and back
: again. So when you’re not at the beach, following the tides,
: you can still use your Seafarer to track the phases of the
: moon."
