mooring-deck at night; 2 lamps were on at the swimming pool close by.

Rio Yacht Club was founded in 1912;
it was known then as " Sailing Club" and its members were mostly English speaking people + Nordics;
at its side, sharing the fence, was ( and is ) the German Yacht Club;
when the first world war started , Brazilian Government ordered a status change...both should become Brazilian sailing clubs, so members could go on being friends...it worked out quite well;
we all think sport itself promoted the peace between them
