Chapter 256
Chapter 255 Crab Feast
The leader had to tally the numbers and arrange enough boats to accommodate everyone. They had to hand in the list before ten at night.
After supper, Violeta took the roster and went from door to door, canvassing each household about their interest in tomorrow's boating venture and needing a headcount by ten o'clock for the boat arrangements.

"I'm not going either. I just want to get some shut-eye."
