"Time and tide" is an evocative phrase and I am surprised to find that I have not already published a post with this title. In an sf context, it suggests combining space travel with sea travel and this happens in Poul Anderson's "Ivory, and Apes, and Peacocks," which refers to the fates of seafarers, spacefarers and timefarers. See
here.
Anderson's
The Game Of Empire refers to "...the tides of space." See
here.
Gregory Benford's titles include
Tides Of Light. See also
here.
In
Chase The Morning, the tide is changing but:
"'Not the tides of water...'"
-
CHAPTER FIVE, p. 117.
In the
Aquaman comic for a while, the letter column was called "Time and Tide" and was headed with a silhouette of a lighthouse and a man diving into the sea but I cannot find this image.
Google attributes the phrase to
Geoffrey Chaucer.

Kaor, Paul!
And your comments here reminded me of how I have a collection of Anderson's stories called TIME AND STARS (White Lion: 1976). It contains "No Truce With Kings," "Turning Point," "Escape from Orbit," "Epilogue," and "The Critique of Impure Reason."
Ad astra! Sean
