Day 1199
Day 1199 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Cole Whitlow is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Opal Ferris was born to Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

11:00The morning mail has arrived. Dot Ferris received a mysterious postcard.
12:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
13:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
13:38Bea Callahan has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now.
13:54A rumour goes round that somebody official will be inspecting something, soon.
14:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
15:00Cole Whitlow is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
16:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
17:00Business is slow enough that Abel Callahan has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
19:00The tide is out further than usual. Milo Ferris has gone to look at what it left behind.
19:39Jonah Ferris and Bev Tanner kept their word and finished what they started.
21:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.

22:19Fern Gorse has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
22:20Bea Callahan is explaining boats to anyone who will listen down at The Anchor.
23:23Rex Callahan offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
