Question
There are many blessings that Halacha states should be recited once every thirty days, such as when seeing the sea. How are these 30 days calculated?
Answer
There must be 30 consecutive days during which you have not seen at all, excluding the day you last saw and the day you see for the second time, meaning 32 days, between which there were 30 full days without seeing.
