Day 5569
Day 5569 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Kip Doyle is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater have got into the habit of each other. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Great Seahaven Bake-Off Approaches runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
