DIARY ENTRY<br />

Coming back to the dock that evening, once everything had been cleared away, a passerby wouldn’t even know anything had gone wrong, especially if they kept their eyes on deck. Even if they did look up, <strong>Mariquita</strong><br />

would just appear a bit shorter than she would normally be. The deck was packed up, brass polished, varnish rinsed and wiped. Chafe gear was in place, and shoes lined up like normal along the offshore rail. It<br />

was a difficult way to end the last day of the regatta, the last day of the season. It would have been easy to mope and stay quiet, but thanks to the prodding of some very good people, we started a party instead.<br />

And people stopped by and stopped by and stopped by. M.O.<br />
