The book

A lead line, a tide gauge, a dredge report, a draft mark, a radio check that was answered and still wrong. Each essay starts from a measurement someone was willing to sign, and stays with the hour that measurement quit.

sounding (n.)

A measured depth. True when it was taken. A story, afterward, about water that has already moved.
