"A year ago today, our boat, the DIGNITY, made her first voyage to Gaza. She was a beautiful yacht, donated by people who believed in the Free Gaza movement after our first voyage in August. On board were dignitaries such as Mairead Maquire, the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize winner from Ireland and Mustafa Barghouti, President of the Palestinian National Initiative and a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council (MP).
It was to be our second trip to Gaza, one postponed for a month, because we didnÕt have the proper vessel to go in the fall. The DIGNITY was beautiful, shining in the autumn sun as we got ready to go at dusk.
