Almost nobody writes it down. By the time the lance has been over her, it is a memory, and a memory does not compare to last year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the first half of this record.

It is a job with a long tail, done in the cold, by somebody thinking about going home. The failure mode is never the thing done badly — it is the thing done and never reversed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA seacock closed. An impeller removed. An isolator switched off. A vent taped over. None of them announce themselves, all of them look exactly like a boat that is ready, and every one of them has ruined somebody's May.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo Part III is a \u003cstrong\u003epaired register\u003c\/strong\u003e: thirty-six rows, each carrying the autumn operation and its spring counterpart side by side, with two dates and two signatures. A row with an autumn date and no spring date stays visibly open.
