desk chalkboard at Mirissa whale desk on 21 Aug after leftover chop — go in or sit the sand toward harbour wall
21 Aug, two kids under eight, ear cups in the bag. Leftover swell from the last few days. Kid already eyeing the shallows. I want a local, not a cocktail.

Stay where you can stand. Walk-up versus prepaid; August is boats, not a sighting contract. Leftover chop is ordinary August sea, not a brochure. No inflatables past the first break. I will not invent an official warning colour.
Leave a buffer. Agree the fare before you sit. Do not cut it to twenty minutes at Mirissa whale desk and then argue in a jam.
If it is steaming at desk chalkboard, sit. If not, pack fruit and walk to harbour wall. Biscuits in the bag anyway. The wait is the hungry part.
Walk off the route, then pin. Closed streets spin the app. Mirissa whale desk is not a farm-track pickup. Write 110 if you actually mean a tuk hold.
