As the battered fishing boat (FB) Dearyn floated aimlessly while tied to a dock here on Monday morning, grief-stricken Ailyn Samarita stared blankly nearby. The 43-year-old widow of the boat’s skipper, Dexter Laudencia, held an unlit white candle while trying to fight back her tears. “Our boat has returned to us but my husband is no longer coming back. He’s gone forever and this boat reminds me so much of him,” Samarita told the Inquirer.ebook
