One day I went through the Marina of Funchal. Passing by one of the sailboats I saw a piece of paper what attracted my attention. Showing its location on the island of Madeira and the direction it would take to get to Cape Verde. What I conclude is that not always the closest road is the fastest, at least in terms of sailing. As you can see, the best course is to catch the snake best winds.
Um dia destes passei pela Marina do Funchal. Ao passar por um dos barcos à vela que lá estava um pedaço de papel despertou-me a atenção. Mostrava a sua localização na ilha da Madeira e o rumo que ia seguir para chegar a Cabo Verde. O que deduzo é que nem sempe o caminho mais perto é o mais rápido, pelo menos em termos de vela. Como se pode ver, o melhor rumo é serpentear para apanhar os melhores ventos.
You couldnt make it better!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Benikos,
ReplyDeleteI don't understand what you write. I could make it better what? The picture? A better way to Cape Verde? Or is insinuating that I was who did the design? If it was the latter, I dispense these comments, and no admit put in question my honesty and truth of the photographs, that, to me, is a point of honor.

That is quite a zig-zag course to keep the wind in the sails. Nicely found detail on the ground.
