Sorry to butt in. Am living here, not far from Sam's village of adoption, Lenteji, Granada, Spain. His body was cremated in Almuñécar. The newspaper today reported that recovery efforts to retrieve the last body have been called of because of adverse weather. I cannot give you any technical data, I'm afraid, which is what this forum is obviously about, but I do speak Spanish, having lived here for 30 years, so if anybody has a reasonably short piece of Spanish text that they don't understand, I will translate it.

Sam, as he was known locally, was widely respected in this small village, with just over 500 inhabitants.

Cheers
Hughmac
