Darby's Journal 08/22/03: I found that the box that washed ashore was, in fact, real. I thought at first it was an inflatable raft, but blew it up to find it was a child's pool toy, a Safety Donkey.
I blew them all up in the hopes that one might be a raft, but none were. I did find out one important fact, though: the Chinese will make an inflatable anything.
