Day 5697
Day 5697 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Bram Tidewater has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Hattie Whitlow is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Bea Callahan is not currently speaking to Ike Tidewater. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Sea Glass Season runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
