Day 2987
Day 2987 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Rex Callahan is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The tide is out further than usual. Edie Gorse has gone to look at what it left behind. Whatever Gil Ferris and Lark Ferris were circling, they have landed on it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

19:33Hal Brody has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
19:47Ned Ferris and Milo Ferris kept their word and finished what they started.
20:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Everybody denies everything.

21:16The Anchor's piano is being played by Lark Ferris, who cannot play piano.
21:40Wilf Tanner is teaching the room a song that appears to have no chorus.
