Lawrence. "I knew we had to make it work. The saltmarshes are
fairly treacherous. It was logistically exceptionally challenging
managing expectations. Cracknell's Island could only be accessed
safely by our amazing Marine department building a pontoon
access and running a water taxi service! We took goats and
chickens and everything else by boat to this location.
"I slept with the tide tables and knew them off by heart so when
departments wanted to recce, I would instantly know if access
was even possible—scheduling around the tides, working on
protected sites and still managing to give the creative team what
they wanted."
Jonjo Stickland, the founder and director of Marine Department
"I love tide. I grew up sailing. I feel like I
have a fairly good understanding of the
tides. Empathy is not the right word, but
the tide speaks to me, and I love the fact
that the tide sort of drives everything
there, and that's very present in the
book as well. These people live on the
edge of quite a harsh world and the tide
drives everything in their lives."
