I am sure that this will be the case. And that wherever they go, and act, they take Arrecife as the talisman of good luck. Our coastal people, in the past, wanted to have a good journey. But for all of them the most important thing was to reach a safe harbor. I wish everyone a safe harbor," he concluded.
