Day 1723
Day 1723 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. A small commotion has been arranged on the far side of town. Truman Beaumont is already walking towards it. Hattie Whitlow is not currently speaking to Toby Tanner. Hattie Whitlow is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00A small commotion has been arranged on the far side of town. Truman Beaumont is already walking towards it.
07:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
07:37Marla Finch and Elaine Whitlow have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
09:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
10:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
11:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
12:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Hattie Whitlow has been elected to deal with it.
13:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
13:00Bev Tanner fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed.
13:14Truman seeks advice on a town gone quietly askew — Elaine's answer roots itself in metaphor.
14:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
15:00A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant.
16:00Truman Beaumont has arrived at the office forty minutes early, and is watching the street.
18:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
20:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
20:01A budding sleuth and a chef close in on Seahaven's leaning mystery — the answer may be greener than expected.
21:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
22:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
22:03Toby Tanner has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
22:13Milo Ferris has become extremely confident about lighthouse engineering.
22:14The Anchor's piano is being played by Ewan Callahan, who cannot play piano.
22:14Iris Brody has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
22:17Bea Callahan has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
22:27Cole Whitlow has become extremely confident about lighthouse engineering.
22:54Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Rex Callahan onto the water. Rex Callahan has not noticed.
23:00Commotion at The Anchor! Toby Tanner and Hattie Whitlow came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg.
23:00Sheriff Brody has invited Hattie Whitlow to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
