Day 837
Day 837 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Sal Marino is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Bea Callahan was born to Rex Callahan and Sal Marino. Linus Tidewater was born to Flo Tidewater and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Seed Loaf Question takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00A sea fog has come in over Seahaven Springs and shows no sign of leaving. The lighthouse can be heard but not seen.
00:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
01:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
07:00The tide is out further than usual. Bea Callahan has gone to look at what it left behind.
08:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
08:06Bev Tanner has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now.
11:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Linus Tidewater has been elected to deal with it.
12:00The same passer-by has now walked past Truman Beaumont three times on the same route.
13:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.

14:41Hal Brody and Norma Quist have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.

16:00A seagull has stolen Bea Callahan's sandwich near the dock. Again.
16:39Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
18:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
20:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
