Fuerteventura, February ´08 - The Last Battle of the Bow ...
Inspired by our new story Trips and Treasures about the SS AUSTRALIS and seven pilgrimages to the ship´s gravesite we visited the wreck again: We travelled to Playa de Garcey three times in only one week.
We observed the wreck in most diverse weather situations and made quite a lot of measurements to find out whether the tip of the bow has moved in the meantime. We had a phone call with a money-greedy "Majorero", who once plundered the wreck - enough action for a short week ...

Oh, this time there were again some wreck overflights - one may hardly believe it, but it was a kite, which carried a mini camera called FlyCamOne 2 this time!
And as usual there will be some reports about our visit as soon as possible. And a hint for our faithful fans: There will be another short film about the visit, for a first impression you have to look at YouTube!
