And biked to the bay that didn`t have big waves, it`s odd But a have always had a fear of the sea despite the fact I spent thirty years on the surfaces of oceans that were A times of ill temper. Having gone ashore on an Island in the Saragossa Sea I was a survivor of the ghost that haunts a seaman’s heart. What I saw in the bay was six nuns were rowing and mother Superior steering the boat, on her signal, they stopped rowing Uplifted oars dripped diamonds into the sea. A haze descended and they disappeared, I do not know where. Sun reflection on the water I had no sunglasses. So I sat on a pebbled shoreline reading the daily news
