LIVE +++ Life is Mistery - and a little love letter to wrap things up from your head chef +++ Training week is over and crew is off at sea but after 10 days spent with these amazing humans I thought it would be worth sending them a little love letter from land. Some nights ago I was asked to do a speech for which I was totally unprepared for, so here's a second try with what I would have liked to say then: I felt incredible humanity around me these days: commitment, excitement, frustration, closeness. It reminded me why we do this and how incredible people can be sometimes. My dear RT26/04 crew, I admire you deeply. I am grateful for your strength, and for how it made me stronger as well. You will do great things, and I'm so happy to stand together in this fight. Stay kind to each other, and fuck Frontex! ❤️‍🔥+++ Cast off +++ All rats on board! As I untie the last line from the bollard—effectively cutting the Sea Punk 1 loose from its mother ship—I’m overcome, as always when a rotation begins, by a mixture of relief, pride, but also a touch of sadness at not going out to sea myself. Mixed in with this are grim anticipation and anger: 10 days of training, thousands of euros in donations, tears and sweat—all so that we can do the EU’s job. So that we can resist the deadly logic of exclusion behind “Fortress Europe.” So that people can flee more safely and, once ashore, claim the rights to which they are entitled. Because in the end, that’s exactly what it’s all about. It’s about people who are moving across the world in search of a future and new prospects. On the other hand, however, there is isolationism, cooperation with violent militias, and a willingness to let people drown if they don’t fit into one’s own logic of nationalism or exploitation. Solidarity will win—on land and at sea!+++ Take-Off á la Ab-Norma +++ News from the SARCo: Ring Ring! Time to roll up our sleeves again, we’re ramping up the Gross Punk Product! The alarm clock yanks us out of bed early in the morning, and even in our half-sleep, it’s clear: Today is Sail Day! Today the ship is heading out for a test run, including training at sea. No more dry runs and splashing around in the harbor basin! Quickly down a cup of coffee, clear out of our quarters, and then it’s off to the ship for the final briefings and checks. Tension is, of course, at 1312%. A lot can still go wrong. Will the harbor give the green light? Will the engines start up without a hitch? Will the pier move out of the way in time when the bridge opens? Who cares! It’s time to set sail, Sea Punk-style.+++ Embarkation Scenario +++ Ten people are currently simulating the arrival of rescued individuals on board as part of a search and rescue operation. Everyone involved is assigned different roles to train the crew under conditions that are as realistic as possible. Just like here in the live ticker, I’m taking on the annoying communications part. Offering help (that nobody wants), answering questions (that nobody asked), translating (when no translation is needed). In other words, getting on the crew’s nerves in every way possible. The goal of the exercise is to practice communication management even in chaotic and stressful situations.+++ Give at Checkout - La spesa intelligente +++ At the local discount store Eurospin, the motto is “La spesa intelligente” (smart shopping); curiously, after shopping, you can enter a lottery at the checkout.
