It had been a while since Tavy Lee had felt as happy as she did on that spring morning. The young flaxen-haired woman stood proudly beside her stout father on the covered bridge of the launch, a large motorboat, letting her eyes drift over the Hudson River.

To the right of the water towered the karstified mountain range that was the Manhattan high-rises, and along the distant shore on the left stretched a fresh green strip of forest, which concealed the sea of houses in Jersey City.

The Porto Alegro, as Bob Lee had christened his launch, had a diesel engine that was hammering away in a mindless rhythm, making the metal floor under Tavys feet quake. The boat had a barge in tow filled to the brim with waste and refuse that Tavys father was delivering to an incinerator in Westchester. The smell of diesel mixed with the rotten stench that wafted over from the barge, but that didnt bother Tavy much. When she was little, Tavy had often accompanied her father on his tours of the Hudson, so for her the combination of smells inspired a sense of nostalgia rather than disgust or repulsion.
