In high spirits the group step off the speed boat. The wood worker
and rope maker meet with waiting kittahs.

The wood worker is directed to several trees up the sides of the
steep cliff that need to come down (or will on their own) and will
be used for building materials. Several of them will make good
fishing skiffs and canoes.

The rope maker is guided to several overgrown vines of various types
that make good long lasting lines for everything they need, even
ones that are very sal****er resistant to rot. She sets to work
and many younger kittahs join in to learn from her, as she only
comes once a year and is a highly prized expert.

Daisy-Chan checks the temple out, to see what they may want to
bring. She sees a lot of very nice pillows and some low divans
that will work well for tables. She jots some notes down on where
things are.

Cash sniffs out the beach and notes some spots that need digging out
and footsteps replaced. It is normal weather related since they
just finished their rainy season. Some are underway. He introduces
himself and helps with some particularily heavy stone footsteps.
His bigger paws come in pretty handy and his big soft gentle brown
eyes and floppy ears had them at ease right away.

They've not checked the kitchen cave or the other ones the locals
use for businesses. He's mostly checking the ramps and footstones
to them so far. Just as he starts to get hungry, he sees a
slightly plump Siamese setting up a table on the sand. Kittahs who
are working, smile after a glance, and others who are at a good
stopping point, go over to help.

Daisy-chan then surveys what she wants to wear to the ball. She has
many outfits but a little Local lady wants to get a ball gown and she
knows just the place!

They have loaded all the supplies at the beach for the rescue and have
an hour or 2 to spare before more arrives.

They take off for the Boutique to look about. Iowna catches up with
paw-tired kittahs who need a break from weaving and form a line to go
to the boutique.

The rope and wood maker come down. They have what they need for this
year. The rope maker looks over all the work that the younger kittahs
have done and likes it. It is unique and had new patterns she's not
seen before. She notes it has very distinctive touch texture woven into
the looks.

She smiles and points it to the wood worker. They remember Iowna and a
little care on their rail-less bridges. The 2 confurr and decide to
add some temporary sides to the few bridges. Ferns are abundant and
will look pretty.

Heading off, they join the fast moving line to the boutique.
