New folks at Fausto's

The international regatta is in town, so there are a ton of yacht folk here. You can tell at Fausto's, because they're nicely dressed and well-mannered and all that, but their accents aren't quite local, and they're not quick at punching the right buttons on the credit-card checkouts, and Joe and Darrell have to guide them through steps to confirm their transactions.

Turns out one of them is Frederik, crown prince of Denmark, captaining his Farr 40, taking on all comers seaside with a few security guys dockside.

Unassuming, nice smile, knows how to navigate far more than a good race.
