Her head kept falling away before the wind, threatening to snarl the net in her own rudder, but slowly the line of bobbing corks spread from the mangroves on one side towards the far bank, while in grim concentration Sebastian and a group led by Mohammed paid the net out over the stern.

I know I had to beg and borrow corks from all the neighbors before I had enough.

He even recalled where he got certain oddly-shaped corks from the neighbors.
