Try again. Fail again. Better Again. Or better worse. Fail worse again. Still worse again. Till sick for good. Throw up for good. Go for good. Where neither for good. Good and all.
Samuel Beckett

In the morning of the 18th of April of 1976, while sailing 100 miles south of the Irish cost, a Galician fishing boat spotted the semi-submerged hull of a small sail-boat that didn’t reach to 4 meters long. Adrift in the open sea and with no signs of recent occupation, the boat was found at vertical position, with the bow underwater and the stern out of water. In the interior, amongst many other objects, a passport in the name of Baastian Johan Christiaan Ader was found. It was indeed the Ocean Wave, the boat in which, in July 9th of 1975, the Dutch origin artist Bas Jan Ader had left from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, having has final destination the port of Falmouth in Great-Britain. It wasn’t the first time that Ader crossed the Atlantic in a sail boat. Back in 1963, being 20 years old, after travelling by hitch-hiking through France and Spain, he embarked in a sail-boat in Morocco that would take him in a long and troubled 11-month journey to San Diego, California, with passages in Martinique and the Panama Canal. Established since then in Los Angeles, to Bas Jan Ader the Ocean Wave journey was a sort of more or less romantic return to the place from where he first took off, years before. Yet, when he planned to face by himself the Atlantic Ocean in a risky adventure – and never tried before under such circumstances –, Ader had the objective of concluding his project In Search of the Miraculous and we can say, by that, that is constituted above all a radical aesthetic experiment. Although there were some adaptations, the chosen boat, a Guppy 13 Pocket Cruiser, a small pleasure sail-boat very popular at the time in California, didn’t seemed the most appropriate for the trip.
