The visual alone took my breath away.
This tragic news item inspired so many images, memories, having spent enough time sailing, cruising along various Italian coasts.
I'm keenly reminded how much more dangerous life becomes the closer your boat floats towards land.
While sailing offshore, in the middle of the Atlantic, as we did, time is often spent, ironically, desperately trying to find the wind or racing away from too much.
Whether offshore or near land, the captain and crew must be on high alert, always, paying attention to all those tedious particulars, there is so much data, so much to pay attention to, constantly.
If not, 'this' happens. Mio dio, good thing the Captain's been arrested, he should be arrested for murder. Such a tragedy, and one that could have been easily avoided...
