“It always happened” she observed, resigned, with suppressed emotion.

They left there on January 26 and today Aura was in the fishing village of Marín (Galicia, northwest) mired in uncertainty: “Nothing, we know nothing.”

Martín accumulates 22 years of work, three on this ship that ended up engulfed by the sea for reasons that are being investigated.

Jonathan, another disappeared Peruvian

The same thing that happens to Aura Carolina, wife of Jonathan Calderón, 39 years old and also from Peru: “I had been on this ship for twelve or thirteen years, I was the boatswain.”

Before the shipowner’s house in Marín, where he went in search of answers, because he does not know what happened to Jonathan, he gave “Thank God that there are three people who are alive; when they come they will give the respective explanations”, and does not believe that the bad weather was so harsh.

Near her, another relative with a brother and two nephews in the sunken ship could hardly say a word: “You are very sad.”

An uncle of Edemon Okutu, brother of the Ghanaian athlete Jean Marie Okutu, also expressed concern about the state of his nephew, a crew member of the sunken ship.

Marín is a fishing village of just 25,000 inhabitants in the Spanish region of Galicia (northwest) and where the Villa de Pitanxo fishing vessel was based.

Despite being used to the tragic onslaught of the sea, “it is a very hard blow,” Carmen, a neighbor of one of the disappeared in this shipwreck, told Efe that “it is desperate for the entire town.”

Manuel knows part of the crew, all of them “good people” and who were “very prepared” to go to sea.

“We are all very affected”pointed out this sailor, who had to leave the sea due to an accident and who reflects that “this profession is like that, you never know what can happen to you”.

Although the identity of most of the sailors has not yet transpired, in Marín everyone already knows who embarked, so the consternation is absolute.

Everyone in Marin hopes that the rescue efforts can find the whereabouts of all the crew members, although, knowing the sea as they are, they know that it will not be easy.

The mayor of Marín, María Ramallo, recalls that there are 24 “restless” families to whom “we still cannot give them more accurate information.”

In this town they do not remember “anything like it,” he emphasized, and he was moved to highlight the “immense pain” that this shipwreck brings to a town that is experiencing a “very sad day” that they will never forget.
