Day 5084
Day 5084 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Linus Tidewater has explained the tides three times, differently each time. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Nell Tidewater was born to Mabel Tidewater and Dell Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Something in the Pond takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
