Epilogue: Following the wake of Antonio Machado The fundamental idea of crack path recalls the famous words by the major Spanish poet Antonio Machado: “se hace camino al andar”, as there is no previous path, but the path is made as the crack grows. The verses by Antonio Machado (in Spanish) are as follows: Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar …..... Caminante, no hay camino sino estelas en el mar . A possible translation into English could be: Walker, there is no path, the path is made by walking …..... Walker, there is no path but wakes in the sea . Therefore, this paper tries to follow the wake of Antonio Machado, and the beautiful poetic idea of wakes in the sea provides a heartfelt tribute to both poets and seamen. In Memoriam The author wishes to dedicate this paper to the memory of his friend Rubén Ballesteros, poet, seaman and teacher. References Cai, C.Q., Shin, C.S., 2005.
