    Well.., well..., well...

    Not enough with Brexit..., now this...

    - I Think..., the Gallego sqidllonaires from Galician Vigo and Marin must be seriously recalculating the cost/benefit radius of their 2021 Pirate Squid Fishing Campaign in Malvinas...

    - They better triple-check their insurance policies...!

    - Being responsible of sending small boats with an average crew of 60 souls..., for months on end..., to the other side of the world in this Covid times..., could become a very, vey costly affaire...

    - I wonder if them Dagos have discussed with the Malvinas FIG(leaf) Kelper representatives (who issue them pirate fishing licenses)..., a contingency plan of hospitalization..., treatment and repatriation of the crews in case of one or more ships should suffer contagion...

    All been discussed and plans have been in place for almost a year, also 30 infections among almost 1000 people is minimal.

    Costs? For what? Keeping a ship behind for a day or two or sailing without a few crew. Nothing. Pennies.

    I THINK you have made yourself look stupid once again

    Capisce?
