Day 544
Day 544 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! June Ellery and Kip Doyle came to (very gentle) blows over a disagreement over who really caught the biggest fish. Dot Ferris lost Dr. Cornelius Pratt after a long life together. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Leak at The Anchor takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
