Summary

Robert Cole’s May column records the seasonal return of boats and mushroom hunting alongside local entertainment and a deliberately comic Garden Island rescue anecdote.

Evidence limits

The column is a community feature with humor and anecdote; it is not a vessel log, rescue report, biological survey, or independent confirmation of every detail.
