This is Tully Mars, checking in...
It's with a mix of satisfaction and sadness that I can report that the task of restoring the Fandom Island Light (formerly the Gnu Island Light) is almost complete. Satisfaction because it's been the work of almost a year. Sadness because once again it will be a time of parting. When Ixnay and I finished restoring the light on Cayo Loco, we had to say goodbye not only to each other, but Cleopatra Highbourn. After over a century of life she'd finally punched her ticket for that last great adventure. This time I'll have to say goodbye to my friend and only employee, Murdock. Though this time I'll be the one staying behind.
When Johnny Red Dust gave me a conch shell in Arizona, I put it to my ear and heard the song of the ocean. A couple of decades later I asnwered and made my way to the tropics. Today while I was fishing I found another shell. In it, I heard the song of the bay. A song just as beautiful in it's own way.
Cleopatra sent me here because she was afraid that if stayed on Cayo Loco I'd become some kind of hermit. Guess that means I should get out more.
