GR translation: Sunfishing, revisited and revised

[Mike Jing]

David, after five years, I have to admit that you were probably right
after all.  Thanks for all your help, despite our occasional
disagreements. I'm still learning and correcting my mistakes wherever
I can.

By the way, "sunfishing" also appears later in the book:

V667.31-668.2, P680.39-681.10   Thanatz remains shaking and furious in
the well-established rain, under the sandstone arcade. I should have
sailed on, he wants to scream, and presently does. “I wasn’t supposed
to be left with you discards. . . .” Where’s the court of appeals that
will hear his sad story? “I lost my footing!” Some mess cook slipped
in a puddle of elite vomit and spilled a whole galvanized can full of
creamed yellow chicken nausea all over that starboard weather deck,
Thanatz didn’t see it, he was looking for Margherita. . . . Too bad,
les jeux sont faits, nobody’s listening and the Anubis is gone. Better
here with the swimming debris, Thanatz, no telling what’ll come
sunfishing by, ask that Oberst Enzian, he knows (there is a key, among
the wastes of the World . . . and it won’t be found on board the white
Anubis because they throw everything of value over the side).
