“I see it both in daytime and at nighttime. You’re going to be able to see the lights at night sooner than you’ll be able to see the palm trees during the day. I have this fantasy that I’m seeing the lights. It’s that third morning. I’ve swum through Saturday night and Sunday and Sunday night and now it’s Monday. Every time I come in to that boat for a feeding there are more and more lights, and then the sun rises and you start seeing actual things: planes flying and buildings and trees. The world looks green instead of just blue. And then I’m there.”
