Trivia:

» The second letter:"Dear Catherine, I can't spend an hour of my life without you. I repair boats, I test them... ...and all this time waves of memories overwhelm me. Today I remembered when we were young... ...and you left our world for a greater one. I was more scared than I recognized. I fought with fear...telling to myself that you're going to be back ...and thinking of what I would tell you the moment I saw you again. I think that I tried one hundred of versions. What have I told? Not much. I could use my mouth only to kiss you . And when you told me that you are back forever, you told me everything. Now I do it again. I think what I would tell you if you should be back...?" » The third letter : To all the ships on the sea and to all the ports. To all my friends, my family and strangers. "This is a message and a prayer. The message is that during my trips I found a great truth. I have already found what everybody is looking for...and few find: "the person for whom I was born to love. " Somebody like me, from Outer Banks county... ...from the mysterious Atlantic. " O person rich in simple values... ...a person who learnt on his own. A port in which I am always at home. The wind, the problems... ...or a little death can't destroy this house. I pray for all the people to know such love and to recover from it. If my prayer is listened to, there won't be guilt any more, or regrets. Neither anger. Please, God. Amen!"

» The fourth letter: Dear Catherine, my life started when I knew you and it ended when you died. I thought that keeping our memories we would both live. But I was wrong. A woman called Theresa showed me that if I opened my heart I could love again, irrespective of the intensity of suffering.
