Sur l’île d’Ascension avec Alex Wonner (rh.81)
Le premier numéro 2009 des «Echos», joliment relooké, est dans les boîtes aux lettres de nos anciens (du moins de ceux qui cotisent…. Il fourmille, comme à chaque fois, d’infos d’actualité, de souvenirs… Il publie des résultats d’ancien(ne)s, évoque des parcours, … Celui d’Alex Wonner, par exemple, vous emmènera au milieu de l’Atlantique et bousculera sans doute quelque peu les pantouflards. Non, nous ne le publions pas ici sur le site: il faut recevoir les «Echos de Bernardfagne», formule papier, pour goûter à cette prose un peu décoiffante!Ou alors, juste si vous insistez, un petit avant-goût avec l’extrait qui suit (mais en anglais!) et quelques photos sur un de nos albums.
"les plaisirs de la mer, le sauvetage des tortues et un peu de vert sur l'île quand même"!
One day you maybe.... Have you seen this beautiful sailboat! I had to put my kayak on the water to look at it closely.
Always good to dream! A Dutch flag. A huge solid black sailboat.
Maybe the "Flying Dutchman!".
Not far from there, the turtles don't give a damn. They carry on
swimming peacefully. Sometimes as you can see, the turtles do time their returns into the sea badly and at low tide they get stuck between the rocks. You need at least 4-5 strong guys (like me!!!) to lift them up and push them back into the sea. We did rescue two of them this morning. One was very heavy.
Wherever you go around the island , you will see "Green Montain".
It's our Mont Everest! Fortunately we don't need oxygen here.
These are the only two "green" things here: Green Montain and Green
Turtle! For the rest, forget about it; ashes everywhere.
I wish you a very good week to all.
