Scialoja, an experienced sailor known to be sympathetic to the resistance, agreed. He rounded up three men and a woman as crew and located a 30-ft. cabin cruiser. Meanwhile, resistance agents contacted Mylonas and alerted him to watch for a group of tourists during his daily lunches at Kyria Aspasia, the only taverna on desolate Amorgos...

Could a license have saved the boob who drove through the cabin cruiser or the nine nuts who went off without life jackets? Hot-rodders in cars have no trouble passing licensing tests. Neither would hot-rod skippers. More lives could be saved for less money by beefing up Coast Guard and state patrols to enforce our boating laws...
