The swell lifted the Marigold's stern like a hand under a sack, and Ruth Vance kept her eyes on the bar buoy until it stopped being a worry and became a bearing. Behind her, young Danny Sorley was retching over the rail with the stubbornness of someone who would not be sent below. "Keep your head up and your mouth shut," she said.

The card was still wedged behind the compass light, where it had been for nineteen years. Frank had written the line in carpenter's pencil on the back of a chandler's invoice, the week he'd signed for a hull he couldn't afford and then spent every evening sanding it into something he could. He never got to see her in the water. The pencil had gone silver with salt and the paper was soft as cloth, but the words held. Ruth had read them so often she no longer saw them, only knew they were there, the way she knew the shape of the wheel.

By first light they were on the grounds, and the haul came up heavy and black-backed, more than the season had given them in a month. Danny stopped shovelling to stare at the fish, then at the rusted float tied to the gurry bucket, a round-eared badge Frank had nailed there for luck. "Did your husband really think a boat like this could go to America?" he asked. He was grinning, sea-green still, and Ruth realised he meant it kindly.

"He thought it could go anywhere we pointed it," she said. "Mostly it went where the fish were."

When the fleet turned for home, Danny brought her a mug of tea with the sugar already in, which she did not take but drank anyway. Ruth reached behind the compass light, touched the pencil, and found the card had worked loose at one corner. She pressed it flat with her thumb and left it where it was.
