There were 145 (= 5 * 29) days from Spica to Fomalhaut, from 'September 12 (255)  to 'February 4 (255 + 175 = 430 = 35 + 365).

I think this matter of completely swallowing all the waters was a topic in the myth about Maui and Tuna competing for Hina:

... Then the people told Maui that Tuna was coming to have it out with him. 'Just let him come!' said Maui. But they continually told him of Tuna's threats; therefore he asked them, 'What sort of ure is this Tuna?' 'Aue! He is huge! He's as big as a whale's!' 'Like a standing palm-tree?' They lying answered, 'Like a leaning one!' 'He is weak and bending?' 'Always drooping.'

'Then just let him see the crooked end of mine and he'll go flying for his life!' said Maui. Maui waited with his family, he dwelt there quietly in that place. One day the sky grew dark and thunder rolled, the lightning flashed. All the people, knowing this was Tuna, were afraid, their skin was trembling, and they cried out blaming Maui: 'This is the first time that one man has stolen the woman of another man! We will all die!' But Maui said to them, 'Just keep together. We will not be killed.'

On came the monsters, came Pupa vae noa, and Poroporo tu a huanga, Toke a kura, and Tuna nui himself - they all came rushing on the land. And Tuna stripped off his loincloth, and he held it up; at once a mighty wave reared up and swept toward that land. Then Huahega shouted to her son, to Maui tikitiki, 'Quick now! Show them yours! Pull it out!' Did Maui then as Huahega told him, did as his mother said. That wave fell back, the great wave of the monsters soaked away. The bottom of the sea was bare, and all the monsters floundered on the reef, they flapped in pools. And Maui went out, he went with his weapon and he beat them dead, each one. He killed them all, excepting Tuna. Then Tuna went to Maui's house with him and they two lived together quietly.

One day Tuna said: 'We two are to fight this out. When one of us is dead, the other can have the woman.' Said Maui, 'What kind of combat do you wish?' Said Tuna, 'One of us enters into the body of the other, goes completely in. When it is over I will kill you, and take the woman back to my land.' So Maui agreed, and Tuna said, 'I will try it first.' He began his chanting:

Hiki tautau orea, / Tautau orea, / He tangata nui i whano mai / I tena motu ra ... It is I, Tuna, / That now enters your body, O Maui!

With this word Tuna went completely into Maui's body, he went through the place for entering and disappeared. After a while he came out again. Said Maui, 'Now it is my turn,' and he spoke a chant like that which Tuna said:

Ko vau, ko Maui, e tomo ki roto / I ia a u, e Te Tuna!

With this word Maui entered into Tuna's body, and all of Tuna's sinews came apart, he died. Maui came out again; he cut off Tuna's head to take it to his ancestor. But Huahega his mother took it from him and she said: 'You must bury this head of Tuna beside the post in the corner of our house.' Maui did so, and that head grew up, it sprouted, it became a coconut tree. On the nut which is its fruit we see the face of Tuna, eyes and mouth. All coconuts have this ...
