Thank you!

Hello, good afternoon.

Please stand here. Smile.

- Shall we drop the anchor?
- Yes!

Do you turn first?

- Do we tack?
- Or jibe, as you wish.

And how far away is it now?

A bit more than 5 miles.
5.1 miles.

And how do you know that?

- Range.
- Okay.

And what does BRG stand for?

Bearing, its actual course.
No, our bearing from us to them.

Correct. That's the bearing.

And then we have TCSE and TSPD.

True course, true speed,
their actual course and speed.

Alright.
How far away will it be passing us?

- 4 miles.
- Yes. Good.

Good.

So, the charts...
that we might need.

- We want to go from Salerno to?
- Marseille.

And from Marseille to Barcelona.

- From Barcelona to...
- Castellón.

- And from Castellón to?
- Casablanca.

- And from Casablanca?
- Barcelona.

Very good.

- And from Barcelona to?
- Marseille.

Right. Then Genoa and probably Haifa.
Limassol is most likely cancelled.

That means you can already
plan the entire trip until Alexandria.

You can sort the charts,
you already know how to do it.

Here you have the folder.

There are all our passage plans
and the order how to sort them.

If I may give you some advice:

I would start in the following way.

I would start from the back.

- That means...
- With Alexandria.

- Then you can work off the charts.
- Okay.

- What am I drinking?
- This is perfect for a hangover.

Pineapple-watermelon juice.

It's just pineapple and watermelon.
Is it okay?

It's good. It's sweet enough.
Shouldn’t have drunk last night...

Tourists in Boracay
will temporarily be stranded...

Dexter, you can try and see if you
can get a number 8 coming to the deck.

Copy, sir. 8 on deck.

Careful, sister!

Joanna Borchard, 8 on deck.

8 on deck. Okay, good.
Then you hold it now and we will see.

Copy, sir. Hold.

Okay.

That's enough.

Let's open it, shall we?

Sister, can you go to the bridge
and ask for the flags?

Me and Ranie will open the manhole.

Why is this ship getting closer?

I'd think he was at anchor.
He is moving!

Yes, sir. Antonia Borgert.

Are you picking up pilot
or dropping your anchor?

Waiting for pilot.

So you will be stopping now?

The engine stopped.
We are just at 1.5 knots.

Okay, I am Joanna Borchard
on your port,

halfed quarter, so I'll be also waiting
for pilot in this area.

Thank you.

You can bring your own tent.

But how many Filipinos do you know
that went to Boracay?

I've never been there.

- But mostly foreigners?
- Mostly.

It's expensive.

- Ranie is almost... how many hours?
- For me it's only 3 or 4 hours.

From my place to Boracay.

Where is La Union?

La Union... is northern south.

- La Union is good.
- For surfing.

I saw this one episode of
"Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho"

and it was about there, so...

The guy with the Dutch girl, yeah!

They surf.

- Now I 'm getting warm.
- Me too.

I thought it was cold.

Better warm than cold.

Plenty of times somebody is
signing off, coming back,

signing off again,
and you are still here.

At least three times or twice,
before I go home.

I had two chief mate change,
now Barcelona will be the third one.

Yeah, at least three times.

I had two chief engineer change,
two 2nd mate, two 2nd engineer,

one cook, one oiler,
O.S. one time, bosun one time...

Everybody!

8 months, hu?

Now we are 4 months, this coming 8th,
we are already 4 months.

- Today is the 6th?
- In two more days, it'll be 4 months.

- 8 months now.
- You?

- March 6th, I came on board.
- So almost 9 months?

8 and a half.

So you are like a Filipino now,
you can stay 9 months.

You knew that before.
I am half Filipino already.

Even Hauke sometimes says: "You know
why, because you are half Filipino."

"Look at you, how you are
running around, like a Filipino."

But I am still using fork and knife.

Before I used fork and spoon,
before meeting Filipinos...

Standby, pilot boat on the way.

Joanna Borchard bridge,
boat alongside.

- Pilot on the ladder.
- Thank you.

- Boat off.
- Boat off.

Good evening, sir.

Pilot on board.
Boat off and clear.

- Minimum speed, only for steering.
- Yes, minimum.

- Bow five zero to port.
- Bow five zero port.

This is your steer, captain.

Joanna Borchard, deck.

There's a flashing car on the key.

This will be
the stand position of ship.

Midships, captain!

Up steer, flashing light,
stand position ship, sir!

- Yes, correct.
- Stop bow, captain.

Go on.

Slack off spring!

Pick up, sister.

Joanna Borchard aft, hold tight.

It is easy in its position.

- In position, captain.
- Yes.

- Sir, are we in position?
- Yes. In position.

Good evening,
I've been assigned to sit with you.

I'm Amparo from Valencia.

- I'm Julio.
- Nice to meet you.

- Hello. How are you?
- Nice to meet you.

- I'm Trini.
- Hello.

- Hi, how are you?
- Fine, it's a pleasure to meet you.

- Would you like to sit between us?
- I don't want to separate you.

- Nonsense, we've been together all day.
- I'll sit next to your husband.

I'm fine here. Thank you, though.

Don't worry, they've been together
for so many years now.

I'm a widow.

Well...

But I love cruises,
have you been on one before?

- Oh, yes.
- Me too.

We've cruised many times,
but they've cruised many more.

A hundred and counting!

A hundred? My goodness!

It's a pleasure to meet you.
I hope we'll have a good time

and the sea stays calm
so we won't get seasick.

We'll be together sharing
all upcoming evenings.

If you resolve to have a good time,
then you will.

- But if you resolve the opposite...
- I always have a good time.

- I need my glasses to read the menu.
- We are all on the same boat.

I forgot to bring mine,
so I've had to have it read aloud.

We're getting old.
We need glasses.

- We don't look old.
- But the ID does not lie.

Let's see.

I'll have the potato pie,
with tomatoes, spinach and cheese.

Sounds good.

That must be good and
then the lasagne.

I'll have the lasagne too.

I'd rather have vegetables,
the spinach pie.

I like sea bream but if they
don't take out the bones,

I'm afraid I'll choke on it,
especially as I am quite chatty.

- To our cruise.
- Amparo, it's a pleasure meeting you.

Likewise. We'll spend
eight days together.

- To health.
- And to a lot of dancing.

- See you.
- Good night.

- Enjoy yourself.
- Thank you.

Good!

Attention, ladies and gentlemen.

And now we start.

Fold like this.

The other side...

Same thing. Like this.

Like that.

And what do we have?

The pope's hat.

Very good! Applause everyone!

Hello! Hello!

Hello!

I need some water!

Be careful with your hands here.

- This is exercise.
- Yes.

Try on the other side.

Okay, wonderful!
This side is good.

Fesenjān is a typical dish,
that I love, it's my favourite.

It's with nuts and pomegranate paste.

You should cook for us.

Do you like cooking?

If you come to Barcelona,
I can cook for you, but here...

Why not here?

Because Persian dishes are
not very quick to prepare,

they take a long time to make.

Italian dishes too.
The real ones take a long time.

What's missing?

The eggplant, zucchini...

Let's put them in.

First the potatoes have to cook
and then we add the rest.

So that everything
has its right bite.

Patience.

And love.

What is the Mediterranean?
Many things together.

Not one landscape
but innumerable landscapes.

Not one sea but a sequence of seas.

Not one civilisation, but a set of
civilisations on top of each other.

Travelling the Mediterranean means
meeting the Roman world in Lebanon,

prehistory in Sardinia,
Greek cities in Sicily,

the Arabian presence in Spain,
Turkish Islam in Yugoslavia.

Beautiful!

Thank you for sharing!

It is very interesting.

And now translate, please.

The whole book?
That's gonna take six months...

- Nice.
- Because he is little but very mean.

Together we are like a community

a little world that is moving.

We don't know where to,
but we are moving together.

Like when we see children
from different countries,

that don't speak the same language,
but they start to play together.

Maybe we can find out

that your nationality is just
something on the paper

and that you are just a human,
trying to find a way of being together.

Let's stop with all the craziness
happening in the world.

Let's start again,
looking each other in the eye

trying to communicate
in a deeper way

and looking for words that
have a special meaning for us

in order to share ideas
of what we want.

And for me this is
something revolutionary.

Because there is no
other place in the world

that works like these two
boats in these ten days.

So, there's a wind.

Does everybody know
where the wind is coming from?

From which direction
is the wind blowing?

Yes!

If you want to check,
you can do this with your hair,

but you can also look up to the flash.

The arrow.

- To the?
- Arrow. In the top of the mat. Mat?

- Mast.
- Mast.

In the top of the...
I almost said top of the tree.

But it is the top of the mast.

So this is a kind of sailing
a bit against the wind.

The wind is coming from there
and we are also going there.

You can also sit
if your legs are tired!

You have to put something on you.
You are getting red, Dorothy.

Luca, do you need something?
Water, juice? Some fruit?

- If you want, I can sew that, Ema.
- No, thank you, I like to sew.

- Can you sew?
- Yes.

- Really?
- Yes.

- How did you learn to sew?
- My mom showed me.

What can you sew?

- Pants...
- Can you sew a hem?

- Well, if my pants tear...
- You can mend them.

Not bad, almost no one
knows how to do that.

My family was once
involved in politics.

And it did not end well,
with the situation in Rwanda.

So I have no interest in politics,

but I feel like I have a voice.

But you can't predict the future.

You know, home is always your home,
no matter where you go, you see?

But sometimes you have to
make a sacrifice and a big choice

to move abroad,
to better your life.

So, for me...

Maybe I will go back.

And one thing
that I like most about history

is how much Europeans
have learnt from history.

Because Europe has fought a lot.

After they realised that fighting
could not get them anywhere,

they decided to stop fighting and
instead trade with each other.

But the problem,
in my opinion is,

we Europeans did not stay together
because we realised it is better for us.

We stayed together because we realised
that other countries were emerging

and we needed to pack together
in order to confront them.

We, even now, fought some
sort of war between us

but it is an economic one,
it is a political one.

If you think of Greece and Germany,
they really fought an economic war

and Greece lost.

And that is what was
basically happening in 2015.

It's just a war without bloodshed

or not so much bloodshed,
but it's a kind of war in my opinion.

- Luca, should I close this?
- Yes, close it!

Could you pass me an onion, please?

Oh no, there's no onion left.

- Where shall I put this?
- Just leave it there.

- Yesterday there was one left.
- Not anymore.

We need to borrow one
from Tanimar, then.

Can you go?

Do you break spaghetti
here on these savage island?

What?

- You break spaghetti?
- Don't even start.

You're just ignorant and arrogant.

Have a seat and shut up, please.

In Sicily we use to cook a soup

with spaghetti that we break up
into little pieces.

You don't have to eat it.

- You can leave it to us.
- But we have to prepare a lot of it.

Now, relax and breathe.

And I kick my legs?
Inside or outside the water?

You are very contracted, relax!

I am here with you.
You can leave your arms like this.

Relax!

You are not relaxed!

Let your head hang loose!

- Like this?
- Yeah!

And breathe!

How many years
have you been sailing now?

Twelve years.

And how was that
for you as a woman?

- What a big question...
- Yes, it really interests me.

Well... I was very angry quite often.

I still have not learnt
to manage my anger.

Don't laugh,
I'm trying to give you a massage.

I haven't learnt to manage my anger,
and the day I will be really mature

will be the day
I won't get mad anymore.

This is probably the most chauvinist
domain I have ever moved in.

When you enter the harbour,
steering the ship,

the captains of the boats nearby
go to the bow right away.

One tells you "to the right",
the other one "to the left".

Everyone basically tells you to
"keep away from my boat".

I've learnt that in Spain women have
been able to legally work on a boat

only since 1968 or 1978,
I don't remember.

Crazy, right?

My god, but yes,
it has to do with tradition.

Yes, but women have always been an
essential part of the maritime world.

Who sewed the nets,
prepared the bait, prepared the pots?

Who cleaned and sold the fish?

True, but they were not on the boat.

- Not on the boat.
- Not on the boat.

- Thank you, Ema.
- Thank you.

I have your sweater, okay?

Go on, a bit more.

- You're exhausted, boss.
- Yes, this is hard to fix.

Catch me when I fall.

Title of...

I am sorry!

The bosun is a shy guy.

- Do you think I am shy, sister?
- I don't know, maybe a little bit.

- A little bit?
- A little bit.

See, you did not speak
to me in the first place.

- I told you about that.
- Yeah.

But if you were
a very outgoing person

you'd talk to me no matter what,
simply to be talking.

I would not do that,
not to hurt somebody.

Alright, I'll switch to manual now.

- And then maintain 2-6-3, please.
- 2-6-3.

Much better already.

You told me that you'd wait forever

Oh, and when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of '69

Hello, my baby girl!

Now I make this video, it is 8:25 pm.

So, happy anniversary!

Now we are at anchor.

First I will tell you
that I miss you very much.

How many days without chatting,
I feel sad.

I feel lonely.

I don't want to work,
I don't want to eat,

I just want to be with you,
sleep beside you or hug you.

Happy anniversary again,
I love you so much!

A kiss for the anniversary!

Just take good care, okay?

I told him,
"If you want to marry me

you must attend
the dance academy for 3 months.

But the only thing he learnt was
the paso doble.

But that was okay.
He only did this and I danced.

- The first one was a good dancer.
- You could not do this before.

Before, women had no voice.
We were in a bad situation.

I remember that when I was young,

and had a toned body,
since we're here...

I could have worn a bikini

but neither my husband nor my father
allowed me to wear a bikini.

I could never wear a bikini.

And remember the thing with the bank?

If you wanted to withdraw any money,

you needed your husband
to sign for it.

It seems ancient history,
but it wasn't that long ago.

And your second husband?
I am curious...

My second husband was a priest.

Yes! He had to say that he liked
women, and a different lifestyle,

that he would be a person devoted
to religion for the rest of his life

but that he didn't want
to be a priest any longer.

And in the end they accepted
his withdrawal from the church.

How arousing!

Vicky, imagine having
to teach him everything!

We should have met earlier,
so you could have told us.

Yes, but wait,
if we talk about sex...

He had no idea!
I had to show him everything.

He hadn't done anything, poor guy.
You had more experience.

He was a virgin.

I was experienced also because
my first husband was the opposite,

he was very much
into all these things.

So I was like, "From this side,
that side, up and down..."

- He must have liked that.
- Well, I'm not so sure about that.

There were things where he was like,
"Baby, this is not decent."

- That was so obvious
- Hu?

It was obvious that would happen!

For me everything still
feels like a dream.

Sailing with you, is amazing.
I can hardly believe it.

For me that is still true
after ten years.

Sometimes I say to myself,
"Is everything really so blue?"

It also very much reconciled me,

with my tendency to run away.
I always ran away from all places.

I ran away from home
for the first time when I was 13.

They caught me later somewhere
in the middle of Trentino.

For real?

This is my home,
a huge home

because it spans all seas.

But it is a place
where I feel I belong.

I can totally relate.

Personally, I am at a point where
I'm looking for a sense of belonging.

I do not feel like I belong
anywhere in particular.

Do you know what it is?
Also because I experienced it that way.

This problem of feeling
not to belong anywhere.

But then you understand that

a tree without strong roots
cannot stand or grow.

It's just about somehow
reconciling with your own roots.

Also because you just get them,
you do not choose them.

But if you accept your roots,

it gives you a certain
freedom of action.

Because you do not run away
from anything you do not want anymore.

Yes.

I can't fight this feeling anymore.

Better change the words.

Leaving on a jet plane.

No, no, no!

All my bags are packed.
I'm ready to go.

I'm standing here
with the oiler.

Are you ready to say goodbye?

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Will we have another BBQ
before she leaves?

It is his decision.

It's the captain's decision.

I can't fight this feeling any longer.

And yet I'm still afraid
to let it show.

Beautiful rendition.

Sister, when you go home, what song
do you want us to sing for you?

We will have a farewell party and
then we will sing a song for you.

I'll think about it.

- Do I have to cry for you?
- Yes! Simple.

With dancing, eh!
You have to dance.

- With who?
- Dancing with the boss.

With Reygie, no,
with the captain!

Is Dad sleeping?

Is he sleeping?

- Muni is home.
- Is Muni staying for the night?

And how is Patrick?

He's with Toto. He has classes.

So semester break is over?

So, I will make another voice message.

Now it is Sunday,
it's almost 3 o'clock.

And yeah, only two more days,
then I will go home.

I don't know if I am excited or not.

But we will see,
how it will be when I sign off.

Exactly when I sign off, but yeah...

Another interesting thing...
Bianca, before, spoke about Etna.

And here we have
Etna, Stromboli and Vulcano.

Three volcanoes in this area.

And north of Stromboli there is
also a submarine volcano, Marsili.

That makes me scared a lot.

Etna erupts two times per year,
almost every year.

- Stromboli erupts every 15 minutes.
- It's incredible.

That is Lampedusa,
the island Lorenzo comes from.

Here lots of things happen...

It is the place where the
greatest tragedy at sea takes place.

Yes, on October 3, 2013,

there was a shipwreck of a boat of migrants,

very close, 1 mile south of Lampedusa.

A boat caught fire and...

366 persons perished.

All the people turned on one side
of the boat and the boat collapsed.

Nobody could swim.

A friend of mine was fishing,

and he could hear
some people... screaming.

He first thought it was seagulls.

But they understood
it was not the birds.

And on a small fishing boat
of 8 metres,

he brought on board 47 people.

47?

There is much sense
in what she is saying,

when she says that
rescuing a person at sea,

does not only mean
saving one single life,

the life of a single migrant,
of a person that is drowning,

but it's also a way
of saving our own humanity,

of putting up resistance.

Obviously I don't have
the key to this door.

If I did, I would not be here.
I would open the door.

The only relation I can make to this
is my own country

that went through genocide in 1994.

People had to go to other countries,
like my family did.

Your family went where?

They moved to Kongo, Kenya,
eventually they moved to Malawi.

In all these places, sometimes they
don't feel welcome, they've been chased

so they have to move to another
country where they feel safe.

And then if things are not moving,
they have to move to another one.

It is really sad.

It's a life you can
never wish on anyone.

When I left my country
I had to leave everything behind

my friends, my family, my things
that I had in Iran

and follow a...

- How do you say?
- A path? A route?

A path that I did not know where
it would lead me or where it would end.

This path was very difficult for me.

Because I would have never
imagined myself in such places.

And my experience with the sea was
very difficult and very dramatic but

I want to thank all of you for
changing that over the last few days.

Now I have something else to think about,
not always looking back.

Thank you very much.

Water J!

I have often dreamed
of a far off place

Where a hero's welcome
would be waiting for me

Where the crowds would cheer,
when they see my face

And a voice keeps saying
this is where I'm meant to be

Take me to the magic of the moment

On a glory night

Where the children of tomorrow
share their dreams

With you and me

This one goes out
to the one I love

This one goes out
to the one I've left behind

A simple prop
to occupy my time

This one goes out
to the one I love

Fire

Very good job, Federica!

Here we are.
