Ritmo Vertical
Aboard Minerva off the Coast of New England
Daniel is roused by a rooster on the forecastledeck† that is growing certainit’s not just imagining that light in the eastern sky. Unfortunately theeastern sky is off to port this morning. Yesterday it was starboard.Minerva has been sailing up and down the New England coast for thebetter part of a fortnight, trying to catch a wind that will decisively takeher out into deep water, or “off soundings,” as they say. They are probablynot more than fifty miles away from Boston.
Contrary Winds
Daniel goes back and sits by one of the windows – these are undershot sothat he can look straight down and see Minerva’s wake being born in afoamy collision around the rudder. He opens a small hatch below awindow and drops out a Fahrenheit thermometer on a string. It is the verylatest in temperature measurement from Europe – Enoch presented it tohim as a sort of party favour. He lets it bounce through the surf for a fewminutes, then hauls it in a takes a reading.
He’s been trying to perform this ritual every four hours – the objectivebeing to see if there’s any rumour that the North Atlantic is striped withcurrents of warm water. He can present the data to the Royal Society ifGod-willing he reaches London.

† The forecastledeck is theshort deck that, towardsthe ship’s bow, is builtabove the upperdeck.

not more than fifty miles away from Boston.
Contrary Winds
Daniel goes back and sits by one of the windows – these are undershot so
that he can look straight down and see Minerva’s wake being born in a
foamy collision around the rudder. He opens a small hatch below a
window and drops out a Fahrenheit thermometer on a string. It is the very
latest in temperature measurement from Europe – Enoch presented it to
him as a sort of party favour. He lets it bounce through the surf for a few
minutes, then hauls it in a takes a reading.
He’s been trying to perform this ritual every four hours – the objective
being to see if there’s any rumour that the North Atlantic is striped with
currents of warm water. He can present the data to the Royal Society if
God-willing he reaches London.

Ritmo VerticalAboard Minerva off the Coast of New England
Daniel is roused by a rooster on the forecastledeck† that is growing certain
it’s not just imagining that light in the eastern sky. Unfortunately the
eastern sky is off to port this morning. Yesterday it was starboard.
Minerva has been sailing up and down the New England coast for the
better part of a fortnight, trying to catch a wind that will decisively take
her out into deep water, or “off soundings,” as they say. They are probably
not more than fifty miles away from Boston.
