Hey AzureWave, I’ve been chasing a rumor about a dusty trail that winds around the old pier, and the way it turns keeps matching the way gulls line up when they’re hunting the tide. Think we could map it together and see if the pattern lines up with the currents you’re studying?

Sounds like a grand plan, buddy! I’ll bring the wind‑up compass because GPS is just a fancy way of saying “I gave up.” Let’s wander along the pier until the sand gets dusty, and if the gulls keep circling the same spot, maybe the currents are telling us the secret. Oh, and I’ll bring a stack of old postcards I found in the attic—one of them has a hand‑drawn map that only goes straight left. If we hit a roundabout, I’ll swear it’s a trap! Bring those shells, they’re the only talismans that seem to work on this coast. Let’s get lost on purpose and see where the waves whisper us next.
