Day 1422
Day 1422 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Linus Tidewater has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Edie Gorse is in Seahaven General after they took a tumble off a stepladder while rescuing a kite. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Sandcastle Regatta Approaches runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
