camila culverrI love the creative maths that is employed here. 10 million €. Really? It may have 6000 crew but they won’t all get leave and even then it’ll be short. I like Camilas notion of actually making them feel welcome rather than viewing them as walking Dollar bags to be fleeced.
As an American permanent resident in Mallorca, why has the American consulat not contacted all American residents on the island asking if they would like to host a few sailors for at least a home made meal? It would cost nothing.
