O que está de pé aqui

THE RAFT HALL — on the high dune. House-sized, about 6 m. Timber, reed, sand. Afloat.
"A wide timber raft lashed with reed, a low cabin roof and hearth stone amidships"
A roof of reed atop the top: pitched low to shed rain and heavy gusts. A hearth of sand inside the centre: set with flat stones to hold the embers through the night. A doorway of timber facing the south: fitted with a heavy latch on the leeward side. A storage rack of timber along the north side, hung with dry provisions, cordage, and spare gear.
Of this land: timber, reed, sand.

THE OUTRIGGER BOAT — beside the shingle shore. Small, about 4 m. Timber, rope, bronze. Afloat.
"A narrow timber hull with rope spars and a lantern bracket at the bow"
A mast of timber atop the middle: stepped in a lashing block for running before the wind. A net rack of rope along the edge: coiled with weighted lines and floats. A bow lantern of bronze at the front: shrouded against salt spray for night watches.
Of this land: timber, rope. Carried here: bronze.

A história, como Imogen Hart conta

Do lugar

• Long Floats Hold was laid out by Imogen Hart, who marked the high dune first and set the raft hall to face out of the prevailing weather.

Do povo

• They keep a dry stack of fuel beside the raft hall and share the first meal at the hearth with any traveller who crosses the high dune. (heard when a people lives here)
• Before winter sets in they check the lashings and stones of the outrigger boat and sing the names of the first four who came. (heard when a people lives here)
