We are cruisers, we enjoy the sea, we are spoiled. You can track us, talk to us. We know where we are going, even if often we don't know why. We have fancy gear, plenty of water and food...
Today, instead, while we were swiftly covering the 65 miles from La Palma to El Hierro with 25-30 knots of wind from the NE and 2.5 meters of wave, the spanish Coast Guard was looking for a wooden boat without engine and with 70 people on board, adrift between Africa and the Canaries.
We want a globalized world? Then we should accept that we are all part of it, and we are all responsible if lives are lost at sea in the attempt for achieving a better job, or medical care, or safety from wars.
Looking in awe at those steep waves, today, I knew that someone was looking at them with terror. I am part of the problem, I want to be a seed in the solution.
