Dear Bruno, we are on
Maria S. Merian a German research ship whose Captain Karl Friedhelm Von Staa although we had asked only the beginning of diesel has decided to discontinue the research and do more 'than a hundred miles to assist us.
I must say that it is wonderful to know that these things exist in the sea.
As you know the decision to abandon the boat and 'was very hard to take, in the end we opted for safety above all. Eight hundred miles to be done seemed to us too much in those conditions.
The tip of the tree was now held by that fact, floorboards creaking of the floor in a crazy way, maybe took maybe not. In any case this morning, the beautiful captain came to me to try to tell me that at night the wind reached force 10 to the point where we left Butch ...
The rescue was very difficult at that time was blowing at 35 knots and above the waves were really powerful, I asked to be taken with a raft at the beginning but the captain asked me groped to approach the ship that he had crossed waves on the leeward side, but the operation proved to be impossible with the ship pitching so much, we risked hurting ourselves and have broken the pulpit. To insist that despite the ship to try again, I spoke again with his second and Ralf Schmidt was persuaded to put water in the boat and not take the boat from the sea with us and above 'was another good number ... the boat was drifting away, at that point, obviously nervous tension has spread ...
We are now well on the ship are beautiful and full coordination of rescue 'was extraordinary, both Rome and Paris have followed step by step with care and professionalism'.
Our boat comes to the Caribbean: maybe if someone comes to us and maybe get it and use it ... boh ... see.
Now here we are, in theory, until February 13 with a faint hope to catch a ride from a ship that hangs out here ... see.
In any case everything has been taken with various cameras ... when we get there will be a good document to be put on the blog. How did the photos and the rest on board.
We ask you to update again Once this information to the blog with all the friends who followed us
