“I thought fishermen were people who were never afraid of the sea. People would laugh at me and say: ‘Even if we do not say it, our fear is growing day by day.’ They know the depth of the sea, the best times to go fishing. Every day they read the colour of the sea, the shape of the waves, read the sky and the clouds, listen to the sound of the wind. Only then are they able to decide if they will go out to sea or not. Such people are always the first ones to suffer a great ordeal in the modern world.”
