Journal of the eleventh day on board

13th May, 1999

7:00 We get underway. We set up on board the jiggers, pulleys and stacks of other equipment we tried out in Pescara. Alicudi dives into the water of the harbour overloaded with tons of stuff.
We are facing a ship loaded with feed and…technologies.
Its engines are ready to embark on a great effort. There are only two small 120 horse-power Ford engines, but they will have to be able to perform like two Camargue stallions at a stud farm.
