The wake of a thin boat was breaking away from the fog. On the fine sand, a man of great stature accosted in a sliding sound. He unloaded a large suitcase and dragged it heavily towards the edge of the forest... I observed him for a while before I went to meet him. He introduced me to each of the objects in his large trunk and to their stories. He told me about his dream to better understand our world and to explore it. He called me tim and convinced me to be wilder. He proposed me to become a pirate and I liked that idea.
He is the ship's Cook, an essential member of the crew to cheer up in case of a hard blow. He likes to make grills on rainy days, tea all day long, and sometimes cakes and pastries. He's very kind and has a great sense of humour. Sometimes he leaves the kitchen to the Captain, when this one wants to make pancakes or spiced rice for the crew.
Hybrid organism that breathes through two siphons, half-ascidian, half-plankton, strange and colossal. This is a nomad island that transports and shelters us, like an oasis in the middle of a marine desert. Inside there's room for everyone. A ceramic workshop, the kitchen, the bedrooms, the captain's office, a common room with a huge glass window through which one can observe what is under the surface of the ocean. And still other secret rooms and trapdoors. We move with the currents and sometimes we stop. It's time to take the submarine out to discover the surroundings...
Bard and itinerant storyteller, he sails from island to island to tell the secrets he collected among the waves. As a weasel lover, his visits are always welcome on our island boat.
