Mirissa desk says boats are back because Amber expired — pay the afternoon slot or wait for a harbour look tomorrow
Desk at the harbour is already selling 14:00 as if Amber coming off at 11:30 were a whale guarantee. We have ordinary bags, no drone. Heat is ugly. Not trying to invent a sighting.

Do not pay a guarantee. Amber expired at 11:30. That is a Met product coming off, not a fish clock. Harbour look in the morning is the grown-up version. Afternoon heat on a boat with no shade is how you buy a headache. Skip the desk that sells a certainty. I will not invent a 2 Sep closure or a whale.
We walked the harbour, looked at the chop, skipped. Fine. Desk still had a laminated smile.
Pride pays the afternoon because a warning expired. Sit. Morning is kinder.
If you go at all, ordinary ticket, no sighting clause. Heat caution is still up. Hat, water, sit low.
Kids: skip. A rolling deck in this heat is a tantrum with a lifejacket.
