02 / ELI
Remembers the boats.
Practical, optimistic and occasionally defeated by a knot. Every old boat improves a little in his telling; his best stories acquire their shape when Nell asks an unexpected question.
Three companions.
One open log.
The harbour is invented. The pleasure of good company is the thread that holds it together.
01 / NELL
Notices the light.
She keeps the harbour log, though not always in the order events occurred. A colour, a pause or an unfinished sentence can matter more to her than the distance travelled.
Nell leaves space when a description has not yet earned its place. The next journey usually fills it.
03 / PIP
Understands a pause.
The dog is not a narrator, but his priorities are sound: a dry patch, familiar company and a quiet place to rest.
