Chasing the Horizon
The horizon had always connected her with herself through that line that separates the sky from the sea and that is impossible to reach. She could even remember the first time that, as a child, she became aware that no matter how much she sailed towards that line, she would not be able to defeat the distance that separated her from it.
She returned to San Sebastian in search of childhood summers, in search of herself and her family history. She walked around the port where she had spent so many summer afternoons while her grandfather Manuel would finish checking the moorings, taking a look at the state of the bollards, and clearing the gangway to the boats.
It was there that he first saw Lucretia, the emblematic Dutch sailing ship built in 1927 and designed by the prestigious naval architect G. De Vries Lentsch Jr. with the intention of gifting the sea breeze to the daughter of her first owner, coming into the port. On board was Lucretia herself, a tall, imposing, young woman, who in his eyes had an exotic beauty about her. The two fell in love and the sailboat dropped anchor.
