I have just heard on our news that a Spanish family were washed out to sea and drowned as they tried to scatter the ashes of a relative in Galicia. Does anyone have any more details on where this happened. A very tragic incident. Rest In Peace.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
How tragic is that wayfarer, words just can't express the sadness of such terrible news. May they rest in peace.

Hi Wayfarer i have seen that on the news also, you know how dangerous that is were you live countless fishermen on holiday or on a day trip washed off the rocks by a freak wave in less stormy times , I noticed in the film The Way when Tom was spreading the ashes the sea was quiet rought that day and he was no were near the water in fact not one ash landed in the sea. May they all be a peace this night
Here it is on Galician news may be some one can translate
