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.
