you must have slept a long time. yeah about 2 years. a woman named reggie swan confirmed she'll arrive march 4th. she'll be staying until september. i got the bunk house all ready for her. there have been quite a few fly-overs by the park service. the last 6 months there has been surf on the north point. anyone who can afford a boat has been streaming up here like freeway commuters. this thing with the surfers has become some sort of a cult. there have been a few entries on the south shore, young men looking for marie-noel. i vacated them immediately. the park service has been on the island almost full time, as expected, and the monk from the monastery arrived for another year.
