Between the Tides
Between the Tides is a laid-back mix of stories, science, travel and human moments from Captain Cary of Lake Tahoe. Each episode is a short, easygoing reflection pulled from real experiences on the water — funny interactions, curious questions, unexpected wildlife, simple science explained the captain way, and the kind of insights you get when you spend thousands of hours outdoors with very interesting people. Chill vibes, good stories, a whole lot of curiosity, and a pinch of that Tahoe funk. Welcome aboard.

Why “Between the Tides” if Lake Tahoe doesn’t even have tides?
Fair question.
In this episode, Captain Cary breaks down the real meaning behind the name. From growing up and working on the San Francisco Bay — as a deckhand, captain, and full-time maritime addict — to running boats through fog that daily consumes an entire city, water rhythms shaped everything long before Tahoe entered the picture.
But “Between the Tides” isn’t about literal tides. Listen in, to hear what it is.
If you’ve ever wondered what the name means — or just want a quick story from a captain who’s seen a lot — welcome aboard.
No tides on Tahoe.
Plenty of ups and downs.
And all the good stuff in between.
