Paper Sails Before the Rain

Display seven work turns, four sheets and two twines; the short route has six turns and starts with the wind chart understood. The convoy uses three sheets, one twine and three work turns before launch, delivering all three bundles. The covered relay uses two sheets, both twines and two work turns before launch, reaching only two gardens while preserving two sheets. At two turns left a gust closes the open-basin launch, so the convoy must be ready earlier. A discovered culvert gives access from the covered shed to the receiving stand after the basin path closes; it does not reopen the convoy. An optional canopy protects tomorrow’s blank stock at a cost of one sheet and one turn, which may consume the convoy’s safe window. Every sealed bundle left behind is returned intact.

Truth and opening

A predictable crosswind reaches the open basin at the second rain marker. A trimmed convoy of three sailboats can reach all gardens before that marker. A tethered covered relay carries invitations to two gardens after the wind rises, retaining spare paper but delaying the third invitation.

120-minute route

Read weather and discover the dry passage 30m → Compare reach with saved materials 35m → Build the chosen route and account for the third bundle 35m

Reading weather costs a turn. The covered route can spend a turn finding the culvert without losing launch access, but only two gardens are reached regardless of extra discussion.

People

Ori Reed: wants Make an honest delivery plan Offers Four dry sheets and two folding patterns. Boundary: Cannot turn scraps into an extra full sail today.

Bev: wants Keep sealed invitations dry Offers Two twines and covered channels. Boundary: No open-basin launch after the crosswind marker.

Fenn: wants Leave no undelivered invitation unaccounted for Offers A safe return box for the third bundle. Boundary: Will not read contents to rank recipients.

Events and costs

Work turns before rain at most 2: The open walk and convoy launch close. The roofed relay and any discovered culvert remain usable.

Closures

Three bells before the rain: Convoy trimmed is true and Basin crosswind arrived is false

Two sheltered bells: Covered relay moorings is true and Two relay boats folded is true

An invitation can wait dry: Available

Recovery

A late convoy cannot launch into the gust. If two sheets and both twines still remain, build the covered relay; otherwise return the sealed bundles dry. The culvert bypasses the closed footpath without pretending the open water is calm.
