carson took a boat across the shore so he had to wait to go back home.
I took my boat over to the mainland yesterday for an oil change, then got home really late. What were you doing over there all that time? Well, I was waiting for the tide to come back in so it would be safe to travel across the shore again. That must have been boring, just waiting. No, I was okay. I walked into the village and had something to eat. Ah, yes! Good food is the best way to beat waiting!.
