World Hydrography Day 2020

My earliest memories of them are from the lakes surrounding Blackfoot Idaho and nearby Pebble Creek in my first and second grade years.
In the Navy I could sit and watch the oceans go by for hours on end.
It was a blissful interlude in my enlistment and I should have been more keenly aware of the enjoyment opportunities available to me but alas, I was too proccupied with that misery I created for myself during that time.
Hydrography refers to those methods involved in the scientific description and analysis of the physicality, boundaries, flow dynamics, and other characteristics of the waters of the world.
Today is World Hydrography Day. It happens each June 21 under the auspices of the International Hydrographic Organization as an annual observance to note the work of hydrographers and the importance of hydrography as a science.
