Flecha II. 1984

The Flecha II, a speedboat with powerful engines, was seized by customs officials in the winter of 1984 off the coast near Cabo Silleiro, Pontevedra, with a shipment of contraband Winston cigarettes. The smugglers managed to escape by jumping onto the rocks in an area very difficult to navigate. 1984 © Delmi Álvarez. The last lights of the city were disappearing by the stern and also the seagulls that were already in retreat. The captain of the customs boat rested his right hand on the power controls of the engines. Joaquín was drinking Biodramina with coke and I encouraged myself to take several shots without flash of the sunset. On the radars there was hardly any movement except for the boats that were doing the 8 miles looking for sardines above all.
