thank you, Miguel, for giving permission to use your great photo again – that handmade boat is such a contrast to the police and military equipment of Europe. sorry to hear from you, that many were lost in the ocean – for sure by wrong navigation, technical disasters, wrong winds, sometimes ignored by military, who had not the order to help …
