Una volta nell'Impero Asburgico la scuola nautica lussiniana era la migliore del Mediterraneo; i giorni invernali con il mare grosso i cadetti sfidavano il pericolo scommettendo con gli altri compagni chi riusciva ad avvicinarsi il più possibile alle onde più grandi e pericolose. Molti di loro morirono in questo modo.
Attualmente la stessa stupidità è fatta dai turisti, anche se solamente durante le brutte giornate estive.
Sometimes people are very silly. They do not understand how they are running into danger, without thinking how difficult could be to get them safe by a rescue team. In that situation we are on the rocky shore near the little town of Veli Losinj (veli means big, but I will talk about it in the next future), and you can see the church on its little harbour. Here the rocky shore is high and it is dangerous if there is a very rough sea.
Once in the Hapsburg's Empire the isle had the best school of seaman in the Mediterranean; every winter day with the rough sea some midshipmen were facing the death betting with other schoolfellows who was the brave one getting closer with the biggest and dangerous waves. Most of them died in this way.
Actually the same stupidity is done by tourists, even if only in the bad summer days.
