Day Eight
The farewell flight: by helicopter over Mitchell Falls to the plateau airstrip, and the fixed-wing home to Broome.

One evocative line to open the day.
Opening paragraph, written once the day's story lands. Where we woke, what the water was doing, the first coffee on the aft deck.
The main movement of the day: the run between anchorages, the snorkel, the beach landing, whatever carried the day.
A lighter human aside from the day. The card game, the fish that got away, the crew's tip about tomorrow's anchorage.
The best of the day's WhatsApp chat, tidied only enough to read.
Closing prose. Where we dropped the pick, what the sky did, dinner, the night sounds.
A short italic envoi, the feeling to leave on.
