Day 3978
Day 3978 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The mackerel have moved on. Seahaven Springs will be eating fish for a week regardless. The tide is out further than usual. Linus Tidewater has gone to look at what it left behind. Wilf Tanner and Dell Tanner no longer need a reason to call round. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
