Latitude Nowhere

Alex Moonn

The sea has no memory. That's why it gives everything back.

Oceanographer Fernanda Cas spent eleven months aboard the Meridiano, a research vessel that left the port of São Luís with eighteen people on board. The destination was an area Dr. Marcelo Faria called the Interval. On the first day there, the radios started failing. On the second, the whales appeared. She stayed silent for eighteen months before she started writing.

On the second day, the whales appeared.

Ten humpbacks, arranged around the ship at regular intervals, vertical in the water with their heads pointed down. Their stillness was the wrong kind. It took me a while to find the right word for it, and when I did it wasn’t “rest.” It was attention.
