Today Mari drove me and the two Akios down to Kushima, to meet her uncle and board his boat. Mari then went home to tend to Emma, and we boys went out for a completely fruitless day on the water. The weather changed throughout the morning, with a sunny and breezy situation turning windy, cloudy, and cool. We tried a variety of techniques to no avail.

In the afternoon, we headed back and met Mari and a restored Emma.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
