In the early morning of July 15, 2021, we received a call that you never expected. Maremi, based in Santoña (Cantabria), had turned nine miles from Cabo Mayor (west of Santander). 10 crew members were on board. Nine were rescued. And in that account there was a void: that of my father. Almost five years later, we remained unanswered. And the sea — that sea that gave him everything — is also the one that keeps us in this waiting that does not end.
