another day another ferry... turns out that not only was the ferry cancelled yesterday but all of the flights off the islands also, tonight's ferry also not running and all flights for tomorrow full due to the backlog and our fellow rats jumping ship as the weather is set to worsen with the arrival of a cold front... so an early morning and the local ferry back down to nangang, a day spent pottering about, turning down the offer to wait at the airport in hope of a standby flight, not fashed about being stormstayed here... then informed that a flight had been found, tomorrow at 1700 from beigan island and so back across the island and on to the next ferry, late afternoon arrival and back to the same room we'd left a few days ago... later the moon rising above hills which contain a path which is the plan for the morning, the water quiet, lapping upon a sandy beach, sheltered from the wind and just sitting watching stars appear through sporadic cloud, creaking ropes and wood and glimpses of that beauty found in isolation... something weird going on with the text but the rabbit hole picking pumpkins just outside of gaindorf...
