Episode notes

A new series titled “Dry Port Series.” This is an experimental series in storytelling. We will be telling one story per country we visit. An experience every cruising sailor knows when visiting a new port, country, or continent he or she will hear a story that relates to their quest to see the world. Stories that cross our course ultimately changing our direction. The Mosaic Artist starts in Seville Spain once the richest port in the world even though it is far from the sea.

Triana is an industrial neighborhood of Seville Spain famous for tiles. The industry dates back to Roman times, using clay from La Cartuja, to the north of the area. Carlos Garcia was eight years old when the Spanish Civil War started. July 1936.
