Spanish fisherman Joso Zaldombed, 55, who was struck by German sailor Boris Hermann on Wednesday, has also returned to Earth. Zaldimbide (Click here for an interview about the accidentThe 15-man crew of the Hermanus Busto returned safely to the fishing village of Ondrroa on Saturday morning. This was stated by the owner of the ship, Eitor Badiola. Herrmanns high-tech yacht collided with Hermanos Busto 90 miles from the finish line of the famous Vende Globe regatta on Wednesday. After 80 days sailing around the world, Hermann missed a chance to win the regatta. He had reached the final at Les Sables-dOlonne in France on Thursday fifth in the final ranking.

The owner of the ship Badiola Make photos available to Sddeutsche ZeitungTo confirm that Hermanos Bustos Automatic Identification System (AIS) was operational at the time of the collision with the Herrmann Seaexplorer. The image shows the first and apparently the most recent of ten recoverable pages with archive data for AIS. Accordingly, Hermanos Bustos AIS was put into operation for the last time on January 5, 2021 and has yet to be discontinued.

There was a controversy over the Spanish Hunters AIS after the accident. Hermann had initially indicated that the Spanish hunter had turned off AIS. He himself went to sleep. He had previously triggered all alarms on his yacht. The Spanish hunter had defended himself against suspicion of shutting down Air Force Intelligence. Captain Zaldombide said, He shouldnt say that, damn it.

After Hermann had doubts on Friday morning whether the Hunters AIS was operational, the raft was put into operation in the afternoon. There are no accusations on my part, Hermann said after a phone call with Badiola. In a hurry, I realized this as the simplest and most straightforward explanation, because Ive already seen one or another fishing boat that doesnt have AIS. The causes of the collision remained a mystery to him.
