Inside the small&lt;br /&gt;proa was a dorrado and several large grouper. The American complimented the Islander on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.&lt;br /&gt;The Islander replied, "Only a little while."&lt;br /&gt;The American then asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish?&lt;br /&gt;The Islander said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs.&lt;br /&gt;The American then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"&lt;br /&gt;The fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my&lt;br /&gt;children, take a late afternoon nap with my wife, Helia, stroll into the&lt;br /&gt;village each evening where I sip rum and play guitar with my&lt;br /&gt;friends, I have a full and busy life."&lt;br /&gt;The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution.&lt;br /&gt;You would need to leave this small fishing village and move to Australia, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise."&lt;br /&gt;The South Seas fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?"&lt;br /&gt;To which the American replied, "15-20 years."&lt;br /&gt;"But what then?"&lt;br /&gt;The American laughed and said that's the best part. "When the time is&lt;br /&gt;right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and&lt;br /&gt;become very rich, you would make millions."&lt;br /&gt;"Millions, realy? Then what?"&lt;br /&gt;The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small fishing&lt;br /&gt;village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids,&lt;br /&gt;take a late afternoon nap with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings here you could sip rum and play your guitar with your friends."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33883031-975104555510183496?l=theworldisail.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/feeds/975104555510183496/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33883031&amp;postID=975104555510183496' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/975104555510183496'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/975104555510183496'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/2007/10/s-uma-pequena-anedota-que-encontrei.html' title='Só uma pequena anedota que encontrei...'/><author><name>Mário</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09299748426280560064</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3001/3725/320/profile.0.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33883031.post-7446513628623123795</id><published>2007-10-15T09:22:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-10-15T09:31:55.868+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mundo Azul'/><title type='text'>Força Francisco</title><content type='html'>Voltando à temática da vela. Está a decorrer uma das mais míticas prvas de vela do mundo: a Transat 6.50. Imaginem-se atravessar sozinhos o Oceano Atlântico com um barco de 6,5 metros onde o espaço é tão reduzido que a casa de banho do barco é um balde. &lt;br /&gt;Este ano esta prova tem ainda um motivo de interesse maior pois temos um velejador luso em competição: Francisco Lobato. Neste momento o Francisco vai num brilhante 3º lugar na 2ª Etapa da prova e a ganhar terreno aos dois primeiros classificados. Só nos resta desejar as melhores das sortes ao nosso representante e que ele nos faça orgulhosos de ser Portugueses...

No entanto esta semana também começa o campeonato de mundo de vela ligeira aqui em Cascais. Para quem gosta deste desporto é um evento a não perder onde os melhores velejadores irão participar. Mais informações do envento &lt;a href="http://www.cascaisworlds2007.com/"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entretanto na mais antiga competição de vela do mundo, Americas Cup, a equipa Suiça "Alinghi" deu um passo para revalidar o titulo pois venceu a 6ª corrida. Os concorrentes estão em dificuldades pois agora só falta uma vitória para Alinghi. A confirmar a vitória do Alinghi, este ano acaba em grande para a Suiça pois também o vencedor da mitica &lt;a href="http://www.velux5ocean.com"&gt;Velux 5 Oceans&lt;/a&gt; vem deste país.

No entanto na Suécia (que tinha declarado neutralidade na guerra) decidiu-se fazer, em 1941, uma competição para a criação de um veleiro que fosse simples, fácil de construir e barato. No concurso participaram 58 projectos para barcos. Após a avaliação cuidada dos projectos o o júri considerou que nenhuma das candidaturas era suficientement boa e nenhum prémio foi entregue. Aa organização do concurso decidiu,  no entanto, encarregar um arquitecto naval, Tord Sunden, para juntar num barco as melhores caracteristicas dos 4 melhores projectos apresentados. E foi assim que o Folkboat nasceu a partir de um concurso sem vencedor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;O barco ganhou tanto sucesso que ficou conhecido como Folkboat, ou barco do povo devido às suas grande capacidades marinheiras, simplicidade e custo. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Até à data foram produzidos mais de 4000 destes barcos (quer em madeira ou Fibra de vidro). Para além disso este barco serviu de inspiração a muitos outras embarcações à vela.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33883031-7892439704704063122?l=theworldisail.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/feeds/7892439704704063122/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33883031&amp;postID=7892439704704063122' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/7892439704704063122'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/7892439704704063122'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/2007/06/im-in-love.html' title='I´m in love...'/><author><name>Mário</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09299748426280560064</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3001/3725/320/profile.0.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_C-cbVZT5Rr0/RoBFUGPpKjI/AAAAAAAAAAU/_Ra-7gKSAIY/s72-c/folkboat.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33883031.post-5406614327582229414</id><published>2007-06-06T00:41:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-06-06T00:42:50.298+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mundo Azul'/><title type='text'>Sailing Video</title><content type='html'>&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3-yQpwht1bY" width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33883031-5406614327582229414?l=theworldisail.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/feeds/5406614327582229414/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33883031&amp;postID=5406614327582229414' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/5406614327582229414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/5406614327582229414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/2007/06/sailing-video.html' title='Sailing Video'/><author><name>Mário</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09299748426280560064</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3001/3725/320/profile.0.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33883031.post-3421664554769820854</id><published>2007-05-15T19:03:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-05-15T19:13:30.220+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mundo Azul'/><title type='text'>Tributo aos Herois do Mar</title><content type='html'>Acabou à 1 semana uma das maiores e mais dificeis provas de desporto: A Velux 5 Oceans.

Do evento só posso dizer que foi excelente. De salientar o convivio e a partilha de estórias, todas elas claro ligadas ao munda da fotografia que é outra das minhas paixões. Para saberem mais sobre o evento podem visitar a página do encontro clickando &lt;a href="http://www.olheiroslisboa.blogspot.com"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas o post de hoje não é para fazer uma crónica deste belo dia mas está relacionado com fotografias. Vou aproveitar hoje para introduzir um novo tipo de crónicas neste blog a que chamei: &lt;em&gt;Gente deste mundo&lt;/em&gt;. Como o meu tipo de fotografia favorito é retratos de pessoas este espaço será dedicado a fotos que tiro a pessoas e que ache interessante e com uma nota explicatória da história/contexto da foto.&lt;br /&gt;Estreio esta crónica com a foto precisamente com um senhor com que me cruzei este Domingo durante o encontro do olhares...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3001/3725/1600/785775/Ti%20%20Joao%20do%20Ginjal.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3001/3725/320/332771/Ti%20%20Joao%20do%20Ginjal.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;O seu nome é João Baptista mas é mais conhecido como Ti João do Ginjal. Ora pois este ilustre senhor é assim conhecido pois é o habitante mais antigo de Ginjal. Segundo ele me contou orgulhosamente foi morar para o Ginjal tinha ele 2 anos. Tem ele agora a bela idade de 80 anos o que significa que mora nas margens do belo rio Tejo à 78 anos. Só falei com este senhor uns parcos 5 minutos mas também ele me conquistou pela sua simpatia, tal como acontece com todo o Ginjal e arredores. Durante a conversa mostrou-me, com um brilho nos olhos, uma fotocópia a cores de um artigo de jornal sobre ele e a sua vida no Ginjal. Descobri ainda que este senhor passa o seus dias a trabalhar e a ajudar os velejadores do &lt;a href="www.cnalmada.org"&gt;Clube Nautico de Almada &lt;/a&gt;e, inclusive mostrou-me o barco do clube nautico que foi baptizado com o seu nome num gesto de reconhecimento pela sua vida em prol do clube. Por fim ainda mostrou os seu dom para a arte da poesia declamando um belo poema de sua autoria.&lt;br /&gt;Se tivesse que escolher o momento especial do encontro de fotografias deste Domingo escolheria sem dúvida estes 5 minutos onde me cruzei com este senhor tão interessante.&lt;br /&gt;Para terminar deixo aqui um poema de autoria do Ti João do Ginjal que encontrei neste &lt;a href="http://opharol.blogs.sapo.pt/arquivo/2005_02.html"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; (dedicado a Cacilhas e que claro também tem o seu tributo a este ilustre cidadão, a visitar)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ginjal, belo, que vives a sonhar&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; Com cravos à janela&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; Uma boca a cantar&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; Ginjal, belo como nunca vi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; Tens o Tejo a teus pés&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; A chorar de amor por ti&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33883031-117253329715411228?l=theworldisail.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/feeds/117253329715411228/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33883031&amp;postID=117253329715411228' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/117253329715411228'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/117253329715411228'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/2007/02/gente-deste-mundo-ti-joo-do-ginjal.html' title='Gente deste mundo - Ti João do Ginjal'/><author><name>Mário</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09299748426280560064</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3001/3725/320/profile.0.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33883031.post-117218187612041483</id><published>2007-02-22T21:45:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-02-22T22:04:36.133Z</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3001/3725/1600/203533/fondo13gd.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3001/3725/320/275707/fondo13gd.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Estás maluco, nunca hás-de conseguir isso...", "Isso é impossível, sabes o que é necessário para conseguires isso?", "Não compreendo... mas por que é que queres fazer isso?", " Não era mais importante para ti teres isto e só depois entrares nesses sonhos malucos?", "Vais demorar anos a conseguir isso..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quantas vezes ouvimos estas frases quando contamos os nossos sonhos e planos e... muitas vezes acabamos por acreditar nelas e acabamos por desistir de concretizar os nossos objectivos.

Hoje vi um documentário sobre um povo que vive no mar que banha Myanmar (antiga Birmânia). Este povo chama-se Moken e são os "ciganos do mar". &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;O modo de vida dos Moken é baseado inteiramente na vida maritima. os Moken vivem em barcos construidos por eles usado o mesmo metodo tradicional de pelo menos 400 anos. No seu dia a dia os Moken são nomadas-colectores procurando no mar a comida para se alimentar. Durante 400 anos os Moken tiraram do mar apenas aquilo que precisam para viver nesse dia. Para eles só respeitando o mar é que este será benevolo com eles. Este tipo de vida sem o desejo por bens materiais, de partilha e de respeito pelo meio em que vivem é o cerne da sua ideologia. E pela história parece que tem resultado.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Este povo indigena (como quase todos os outros povos indigenas) estão a sofrer agora com as pressões que a "civilização moderna" traz. Com a chegada dos povos civilizados, veio a droga, o turismo e a industria que começou a ter efeitos negativos no povo do mar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A responsável pelo documentário acaba dizendo: "Os Moken são considerados primitivos pelo seu modo de vida, mas no entanto eles sabem bem o mundo que os rodeiam. Simplesmente querem continuar a viver do modo que os seus antepassados sempre viveram." Espero que consigam manter o seus sonhos e que este povo sobreviva aos novos desafios com que se deparam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33883031-117080138502787545?l=theworldisail.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/feeds/117080138502787545/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33883031&amp;postID=117080138502787545' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/117080138502787545'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/117080138502787545'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/2007/02/os-moken.html' title='Os Moken'/><author><name>Mário</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09299748426280560064</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3001/3725/320/profile.0.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33883031.post-117001418788933390</id><published>2007-01-28T19:22:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-02-01T22:03:41.190Z</updated><title type='text'>Crónicas do Mar: A 1ª Regata</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Capitulo 1 - Mas porquê tanta chuva?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta história começa hoje de manhã, 28/01/2007 às 9h50, altura que liguei o meu carro e me dirigi para a doca do Bom Sucesso. A viagem em si não teria nada de especial não fosse eu passar o caminho todo a mandar uns bitaques ao São Pedro: " Ouve lá pá! Mas porquê esssa chuva? Não bastava só o frio?!?! Mandas-nos esta água toda e depois ainda queres que a gente reze...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Capitulo 2 - Koi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chegado à doca desde o encontro entre os marinheiros e a apresentação. E voilá, chegámos ao Koi, um belo barco de cruzeiro de 30 pés (cerca de 9 metros). São quatro os lobos do mar que se atrevem a entrar no barco debaixo de chuva e de um frio de rachar: O Pedro (o dono do Koi), a sua esposa (Susana), o experiente Zé e moi.&lt;br /&gt;Depois de aparelhar o barco para zarpar, afinal tinhamos uma corrida para "conquistar". Nos primeiros minutos da aventura a aprendi a 1ªlição. Se faz frio usar mesmo roupa muito quentinha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Capitulo 3 - A partida&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Faltam 2 minutos para a partida".&lt;br /&gt;O intrépido e destimido Koi avança a toda a velocidade para a linha de partida numa luta constante para conseguir o melhor local na meta de partida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Falta 1 minuto para a partida".&lt;br /&gt;Com a grande pericia do Skipper Pedro e do Zé o cruzeiro ganha um local de de vantagem no inicio da prova.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A prova começa. As embarcações passam pela partida e o Koi não fica atrás.&lt;br /&gt;"Ouve lá o Pedro, mas aquele barco em alta velocidade vem direito a nós"digo eu ao olhar para as minhas costas.... (para quem não sabe um barco que alcança outro tem sempre que se desviar do barco que é alcançado) O que me anima é que afinal o barco não nos bateu... Foi por pouco mas deu para evitar o desastre. Ficámos apenas pelo susto. 2ª Lição do dia: Os Portugueses são maus condutores... e velejadores...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Capitulo 4 - A Retenida vai à água&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tinhamos acabado de fazer a primeira manga e iamos a acelerar quando a retenida (o salva-vidas) ganha vida e vai parar à àgua. Claro que as minha mãos ao verem a corda a começar a desenrolar tiveram a bela ideia de tentar travar a boia. Foi aí que aprendi a 3ªlição do dia: Não meter as mãos numa corda em tensão... Enfim, o meu dedo ainda cá está.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Capitulo 5 - A chegada&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Após 2h 15min 48seg o Koi acaba a sua corrida. Foi uma regata bem sofrida mas diga-se de passagem que valeu a pena. Os resultados finais da regata podem ser encontrados &lt;a href="http://www.barentsconsulting.com/ancruzeiros/CL_JTorka07.pdf"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Em termos gerais foi uma boa participação de uma tripulação relativamente inexpriente. Certamente para as próximas o resultado será ainda melhor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Capitulo 6 - Um Cutty Sark para aquecer os ossos&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Já com o barco na doca foi tempo dos marinheiros fazerem um balanço da prova e de aquecerem os ossos depois do frio sentido. Nada melhor que um whiskey Cutty Sark para o efeito. Esta crónica acaba com a reflexão da regata:&lt;br /&gt;"A Vela é como o Amor... Por vezes tem que ser sofrido"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33883031-117001418788933390?l=theworldisail.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/feeds/117001418788933390/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33883031&amp;postID=117001418788933390' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/117001418788933390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/117001418788933390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/2007/01/crnicas-do-mar-1-regata.html' title='Crónicas do Mar: A 1ª Regata'/><author><name>Mário</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09299748426280560064</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3001/3725/320/profile.0.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33883031.post-116984168389056465</id><published>2007-01-26T19:45:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-01-26T20:01:23.906Z</updated><title type='text'>As velas voltam a levantar...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3001/3725/1600/515267/b44_obr1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3001/3725/200/691098/b44_obr1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de 2 meses com os meus pés sempre em terra firme lá vou eu aventurar-me de novo no mar.

Para quem nunca ouviu falar de Sir Robin fiquem a saber que se trata do primeiro homem no mundo a efectuar à vela a volta ao mundo sem paragens e sozinho. Esta aventura foi em 1969 e Sir Robin velejou sem parar durante 313 dias tendo percorrido sozinho 30123 milhas (55788 Km). Para além de navegar sozinho durante a viagem o seu equipamento de radio avariou após 2 meses e meio deixando-o sem a hipotese de comunicar para o resto do mundo. E não nos podemos esquecer que na altura não havia GPS pelo que a orientação era toda feita com um sextante e as estrelas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora com 67 anos Sir Robin Knox-Johnston entra em mais uma aventura. Está neste momento a participar na famosa corrida Velux 5 Oceans. Uma das mais dificeis e competitivas corridas à volta do mundo a solo (irei falar nesta corrida brevemente noutro post).    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fica aqui uma entrevista de Sir Robin Knox-Johnston a explicar a razão da sua participação nesta corrida.

Pois é... na minha inocência pensava que bastava puxar uns quantos cabos e já estava: iamos a velejar a 10 nós para o nosso destino. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pois afinal a vela é uma actividade bastante física. É necessário conjugar imensas variáveis para conseguir o resultado desejado, ou seja, temos que contar com os caprichos quer do vento quer da maré e também com as limitações da nossa embarcação e também mentalizar-nos muitas vezes que não conseguimos atingir o nosso objectivo (pelo menos não directamente ou tão depressa quanto queriamos). Além disso afinar as velas pode requerer bastante força física. E para nossa frustação existem os momentos "kit-kat" onde o sr. vento se decide a parar e lá ficamos nós parados ou à mercê da corrente que insiste em levar-nos para onde não queremos. É hora de lançar a ancôra ou então ligar os motores (para os menos puristas da vela, hehehe)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta experiência serviu-me para perceber que a vela é muito mais do que levantar um pedaço de pano ao vento. é um desafio com objectivos bem dificeis de alcançar.. o que torna tudo muito mais interessante :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aconselho a todos que experimentem.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33883031-116462637917408031?l=theworldisail.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/feeds/116462637917408031/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33883031&amp;postID=116462637917408031' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/116462637917408031'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/116462637917408031'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/2006/11/acabou-se-iluso-e-aumentou-paixo-lio.html' title='Acabou-se a Ilusão...

E além de dar ao público conhecimento dessas particularidades, tem de escolher 5 outros bloguistas para entrarem, igualmente, no jogo, não se esquecendo de deixar nos respectivos blogues aviso do "recrutamento". Ademais, cada participante deve reproduzir este "regulamento" no seu blogue".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E as minhas manias são:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 - Sempre que vou de férias tiro fotografias a tudo o que se mexa (e também ao que não se mexe). O que me vale é uma namorada compreensiva :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 - Quando estou numa piscina não consigo evitar a nadar à golfinho. Se olharem para o mar virem um individuo aos saltos na água feito maluco existe uma grande hipotese de ser eu...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 - Adoro o mar e barcos à vela (motor não me entusiasma, polui e faz muito barulho). E tenho o sonho que irei ter um veleiro e darei a volta ao mundo nele. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 - Seria capaz de estar horas a discutir a saga da Guerra das Estrelas com outro fã qualquer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 - Irrita-me ver uma pessoa a atirar algo para o chão. Se quiserem fazer isso que façam nas vossas casas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bem a juntar as estas manias podiamos dizer muitas mais coisas... mas fica para uma próxima vez.

Trata-se de roupa em bom estado mas que por variados motivos já não a "sinto minha" mas que tenho guardado por razões superfluas como: "posso necessitar disto no futuro", "esta roupa traz-me recordações de algum periodo da minha vida", etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apercebi-me de quão dificil é por vezes deitar fora as coisas (não só roupa) que já não fazem parte da nossa vida (pelas mais variadas razões)... Enfim, o ser humano não gosta de grandes mudanças e gosta de se manter ligado ao passado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quanto a mim, pelo menos a roupa &lt;em&gt;"velha"&lt;/em&gt; já vai a caminho de alguma instituição de solidariedade&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33883031-116231462411825203?l=theworldisail.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/feeds/116231462411825203/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33883031&amp;postID=116231462411825203' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/116231462411825203'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/116231462411825203'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/2006/10/o-quarto-o-autoconhecimento.html' title='O quarto &amp; o autoconhecimento'/><author><name>Mário</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09299748426280560064</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3001/3725/320/profile.0.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33883031.post-116221145351918598</id><published>2006-10-30T12:21:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-10-30T12:30:53.533Z</updated><title type='text'>Para os salseiros (e não só)</title><content type='html'>Olá a todos!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta semana estou de férias e como tal decidi dar uma prenda ao pessoal que gosta de dança (e quem não gosta para que passe a gostar).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dança foi uma surpresa que apareceu na minha vida: nunca me tinha passado pela cabeça gostar tanto disto... mas quando se começa a perceber o que é a dança, bem longe do esteriotipos que se fazem (e que eu também fazia) já não queremos parar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bem como eu não sou muito bom nisto (embora esteja a melhorar um pouquito) deixo-vos aqui um video bem à maneira.

Devo dizer que a experiencia foi espectacular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O dia começou bem cedo, às 9h30, quando fui apresentado aos meus colegas de vela, que diga-se de passagem são muito porreiros. Após as apresentações passámos a conhecer o barco. O veleiro tem 9 metros e está classificado como Costeiro sem restrições, ou seja pode andar por todo lado desde que não se afaste muito da costa.&lt;br /&gt;Grande parte da aula passou com as necessárias explicações teóricas sobre o funcionamento de um barquito destes. Eram 11h45 quando finalmente aparelhámos o veleiro e saímos para o Tejo. O momento alto foi quando o motor foi desligado e ficámos no meio do mar só com o barulho do vento a bater nas velas e nas nossas caras. Excelente!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A aula em si foi muito parada pois serviu para nós termos um "felling" de como o barco se comporta às nossas indicações. É necessário ter em conta não só a direcção do vento mas também conhecer as marés para conseguirmos dirigir-nos para onde queremos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ainda assim atingimos uns fantásticos 4 nós. Para quem não sabe 1 nó = 1,8 km/h (aproximadamente) pelo que atingimos uma fabulástica velocidade de 7,2 km/h!!

When we dance we express our feeling by the way our bodies move together and the way we look at each other. When "talking" all that takes is a subtle movement in our bodies to transmit the next move. Everything is natural.&lt;br /&gt;Trough dancing we create the feeling of respect towards our partner, as it is always necessary a good communication between the two dancers. The way we "talk" together will define the dancing we do.&lt;br /&gt;This is what I have learnt in the few months I have been in dance classes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I invite everyone to enter this world and experience this by yourselfs.

João II assigned Dias, a member of the royal court, to command a voyage with both spiritual and material aspirations: Dias was to search for the lands of Prester John (a legendary Christian priest and African king). The second goal was to search for a sea passage to the Indies and therefore, challenge the Muslim dominance of trade with Asia. To Bartolomeu Dias were given 3 ships: 2 caravels and a suply ship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The expedition sailed off from Lisbon on August 1487. During this expedition Bartolomeu Dias manages to round the continent of Africa and thereby indicating the existence of a sea passage to the Indies.&lt;br /&gt;History says that he lost sight of the south African coast driven by a violent storm, which lasted thirteen days, that took him far beyond the cape to the south. When calm weather returned he sailed again in an easterly direction and, when no land appeared, turned northward, landing in the "Baia de S. Brás" (Mossel Bay) on February 3 1488. Dias rounded the Cape of Good Hope then Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of Africa, in 1488 without knowing it. It was only on his return voyage that he discovered the Cape of Good Hope in May 1488.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He originally named the Cape of Good Hope the "Cape of Storms" (Cabo das Tormentas). It was later renamed by John II as the Cape of Good Hope (Cabo da Boa Esperança) because of the opening of a route to the east. The discovery of the passage around Africa was significant because for the first time Europeans could trade directly with India and Asia bypassing Middle East overland routes and middle men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dias returned to Lisbon in December 1488 after an absence of sixteen months and seventeen days.

Ever since I can remember I had a dream of sailing around the world. As a boy I would daydream about the adventures of the great Portuguese sailors and their discoveries, and also, the adventures of the pirates that passed on the TV. During the years that followed this dream acompanied me but I never learned to sail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here I am, I want to fufill my dream of sailling and owing a boat and maybe one day to navigate trough all Oceans around the world. Let's see. But one step at a time. I have enrolled in a class to learn sailing in a cruiser. I will start my classes in Octouber this year. This will be my first sailing experience and I hope to learn the basics of the sailling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After learning the basics lets see what happens. For now I am happy that I gave the fisrt tiny step into sailing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers,&lt;br /&gt;Mário&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33883031-115744633419226147?l=theworldisail.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/feeds/115744633419226147/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33883031&amp;postID=115744633419226147' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/115744633419226147'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33883031/posts/default/115744633419226147'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldisail.blogspot.com/2006/09/wind-blows-sail-goes-down-and.html' title='The wind blows, The sail goes down and everything begins...'/><author><name>Mário</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09299748426280560064</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3001/3725/320/profile.0.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
