FINAL MAPPING

Bonjour Grann,

I love the sounds on the island at night, peaceful and comforting.

I must have spent hours today walking and sometimes stumbling. It was much more difficult than I imagined. I measured my stride with a three-foot-meter stick, and I believe I have a two-foot stride. With those measurements, I paced off the distance from Marvella to Kana the pond, and it came to 325 paces, or 650 feet from the cabin.

The rock quarry is close to Marvella at only 137 paces northwest of the cabin; but the stone firepit is closer at twelve paces from the front of the cabin. Marvella to the trailhead that leads to Sea Lion Sand is 65 paces due south, and 87 total paces to Hangman's Tree, which is at the edge of Sea Lion Sand. The longest distance is from Marvella to Strawberry Clay which is about 500 paces. Even the distance to Strawberry Clay trailhead is roughly 450 paces, or 900 feet from the cabin.

Map Draft of Island

I'm not sure if those measurements are straight-up exact, but those are what I have. I hope this gives you an idea of my island. I believe I'm out in the Pacific Ocean without any hope of discovery. But I have you, and Bijou, and Dieu; and even though I cry at night, I won't give up.

Keep me in your prayers, Grann. Sleep well.
