Day 419
Day 419 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Flo Tidewater has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Gus Tidewater is stepping out with Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00Flo Tidewater has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake.
01:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
07:00The tide is out further than usual. Ewan Callahan has gone to look at what it left behind.
08:51Gus Tidewater and Truman Beaumont have cleared the air over a quiet chat.

09:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Flo Tidewater has been elected to deal with it.
10:00Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful.
10:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
11:00The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it.
11:00Something glinted in the hedge at eye height, tracking Truman Beaumont as he passed.
12:35Dr. Cornelius Pratt has turned learning the orchard properly into a real part of life.
13:00Sal Marino has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
13:43Fern Gorse and Flo Tidewater kept their word and finished what they started.
13:44The Sandcastle Regatta is held and is, of course, lovely.
13:44Truman Beaumont and Norma Quist kept their word and finished what they started.
13:44And so concludes: The Sandcastle Regatta Approaches. The town will live with how it ended.
14:00Norma Quist has come down with a case of the Seahaven sniffles. Dr. Pratt is keeping them in for observation.
17:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
18:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
19:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
19:35Fern Gorse and Flo Tidewater postponed the matter, but neither has forgotten it.
21:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Gus denies everything.
22:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
22:00A door that has been locked for as long as Truman Beaumont can remember was standing open this morning.
22:00Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill.
22:40Hal Brody has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
22:41Rex has quietly moved Flo Tidewater onto the water. Flo Tidewater has not noticed.
23:00Commotion at The Anchor! Flo Tidewater and Hal Brody came to (very gentle) blows over a disputed game of dominoes.
23:00Sheriff Brody has invited Flo Tidewater to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
