It’s nice to see the moon phases on the 2024 calendar. A glance at the moon phases on it tells me roughly what the state of tide and tide time is so when a mate calls or swmbo proposes doing something in a particular period I can see what limitations it is likely to put on my sailing options. It’s a pity so many diaries etc are cutting this information out .
Yes I realise I am a dinosaur for having anything more than a phone
Any one else feel the same?

I still use a paper diary with moon phases in it. If it's a full or new one, I know I have to turn right coming out of Southampton Water from Hamble and that lunch will be in Newtown, Yarmouth, Lymington etc. When only half is coloured in, it's time for some Best Dressed Crab :)

Not a dinosaur at all. You should be commended for not being duped by the “smart” generation marketing hype. Your calendar gives at a glance all of the information that you need. Seems ideal.
