The crew is made up of volunteers from Spain, Norway, Sweden, Canada, France, Greece, the United States, and many other countries. Each one of them has their own personal reasons for being on this journey, but they are all united in their determination to make a difference.
The stop in Martigues is an important one. It serves as a reminder that the struggle for cassation and freedom knows no borders. The crew has been warmly welcomed by the local community, who have shown their support for the cause. They have organized events and activities to raise awareness and collect donations for the people of Gaza.

As the chalutier bigarré sails towards its destination, it carries a message of hope and solidarity. It shows that people from all over the world are willing to stand up for what is right, regardless of their nationality, religion, or political beliefs. And for the people of Gaza, this is a ray of hope in the midst of their struggle.
