It is twelve years since he last went home or set foot on land, and the faces he loved have begun to fade. He lives aboard the Athos III, wrestling there with what he remembers and locks his secrets away, and from where he can watch his life go on without him. In his solitude his only company is the swell, the silent movement of the open sea.
