A plain warning
We are not the city
This desk is not the town hall. It does not run the boats, and it does not keep an information booth on the quay.
An article may name a place. Naming it does not mean the place belongs to us, and it does not mean we decide who may enter.
Notes go out of date
The pages come from walks and from rides. A worksite, a hard tide, or a moved stop can make a sentence false within a week.
We do not correct in the moment. If the pontoon we describe is closed that day, what you see counts, not what you read.
Water and weather
The lagoon changes with wind, tide, and rain. A crossing that is easy in the morning can be awkward by afternoon, without the text having been false when it was written.
We do not issue a forecast. We do not promise a quality of light. Wear shoes that can take wet stone, and leave time between one boat and the next.
No advice on purchasing
Nothing on these pages tells you to purchase an object, a crossing, or an entry. If you read an invitation there, you are adding one that is not written.
We have no commercial arrangements to declare with the places we name. The lack of an arrangement is the normal condition of this notebook, not an oversight.
What we answer for
We do not answer for a delay, a missed boat, or a bag. We do not answer for a decision you took only because a paragraph pleased you.
