Soon she could no longer feel the faint tapping in the soles of her feet, the sensation caused by the tiny shock waves emitted by the turning of the propeller. She guessed that the boat was already about a hundred yards away.

She wondered whether she had been right or wrong, smart or foolish, principled (as she believed) or pigheaded (as Jo had said). At best, she had delayed Jo a few days. He would find the seamount eventually and do his damage, perhaps destroy it. And the delaying tactic had cost her … what? She couldn’t even guess yet. Here she was in the middle of the sea, with the end of the day approaching and no way to get home unless she could devise some way to patch the hole in her boat.

But futile though her gesture might prove to be in the long run, it had been the right thing to do. Jobim would have approved. He would have told her that she had struck a blow for life. And she knew that to strike such a blow himself, he would have gone to almost any extreme.
