Timo - 3rd Mate
From: Germany
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
"Sea-Fever", by John Masefield
This is a part of one of my favorite poems - and maybe a short
explanation, why I am on board the Esperanza, as well. I love the sea:
Everything is so original at sea - hundreds of years ago the sea looked
the same, her beauty was the same. Still today, most of the secrets of
life in the oceans no man has ever seen.
But this beauty is endangered: man is polluting the sea and plundering
their rich ressources. Secrets, whose variety nobody knows, are sold for
a short term profit.
I believe that this is a big crime and I'm here on board the Esperanza
to give my part to withness how man is treating the sea and to be active
to defend our oceans! We just got them once!

Hi Timo,
I am in Manila now, FINALLY. The doctors realeased me this morning after 3 ong days of tests, and more tests. At first they had sp many theories, kidney proble, diabetes, liver problem, Uric Acid, athritis etc ..etc.. That"s why I was kept there for so long. Finally today conclusive evidence came it that it is a nasty form of bacteria which entered my system on the first week of our trip. Somewhere in the Iloilo-Guimaras-Rapurapu area. I am out of the Cebu hospital but on my way to get confined in a Manila Hospital. They have not totally contained the infection yet. They will now try to culture the bacteria in my blo to be able to identify it. Oh well...more days in the hospital ahead of me.
It was great sailing with all of you. Thank you for everything, Can you please give me your real email address. Maraming salamat.
Sail safe!
Boy

Moin Timo,
familiar way to be greated? Well, I will still write in english. I hope you are fine there and I am happy to know that you are there as 3rd mate. I will be sailing on the Arctic-Sunrise in about a month on the baltic. Maybe because I have seen the philippines already.
Just wanted to let you know I am still alive. The other way round it's easy. See you,
Huck
