Kemm Alla halaq bicciet tal-bahar jigru u jorbtu qrib il-kosta u gon-nies jghumu. Ikollok tfal zghar mank jixxarbu ma jistghu ghax Cowboy Country qeghdin fih. Issa jinqala partita storbju sa kemm tintesa il-bicca. Ma messhux hawn tip ta Coast guard tikkontrolla kull fejn hemm bajja. U anke fuq l-art. Imma lanaqs bicca beach cleaner ma ahna kapaci nikkontrollaw li forsi jaghmel siegha xoghol fuq l-art ahseb u ara xi coast guard. Ovjament l-AFM tghidx kemm twaqqaf bicciet, imma gol-port fejt tkun sorguta l-patrol boat.
