about

How does it feel to depend on a dinghy to cross the Mediterranean?

lyrics

"My dear Emmanuel,
Will you draw a dinghy for me? Keep it long but low.
There should be no difference between the shape of the forward part and the shape of the other end. Keep these words in your mind, my boy. Pronounce them like dates rolled over your tongue. I was once told that parts of dinghies are named after good mermaids who befriend the sons of fishermen!

Imagine your boat will carry a lot of passengers. It will be rowed slowly, wavering in the afternoon sea. Colour it deep dark brown. In the blue of the Mediterranean, against the white vastness of nothing from horizon to horizon, it will be noticeable by a rescue ship from afar. Now you are a boat maker! Your uncle."
