San Teodoro: Tavolara and Molora Islands Dinghy Excursion

5. San Teodoro: Tavolara and Molora Islands Dinghy Excursion

Mi chiamo Fabio e vengo da una famiglia di pescatori, custodi dell’Isola di Molara, il cuore segreto del parco. I miei primi passi li ho mossi fra scogli, sabbia e posidonia; è stata la mia scuola d’infanzia, bruciato dal sole e dal sale. Sono nato quando l’Area marina protetta andava a formarsi, sono quindi figlio di una stagione di grande sensibilizzazione che mi ha fatto maturare la profonda consapevolezza di vivere in un paradiso da proteggere e rispettare. Ho sviluppato fin da piccolo la percezione che il mare possa essere al tempo stesso sereno e pericoloso; per questo motivo alle battute dissacranti con i turisti alterno una costante analisi di ogni minimo movimento del vento, della barca, del novello equipaggio. Di queste acque conosco molti segreti, e quando al tramonto rientro lentamente in porto con gli ospiti condisco a dovere questi racconti come solo i marinai del Mediterraneo sanno fare: simpatici mascalzoni, eternamente bugiardi. Mi chiamo Fabio e sono figlio di queste isole.
