🇧🇷 Uma placa de gelo com uma mancha escura que se mexe. Me aproximo e descubro um grande grupo de morsas. Animais enormes, quase do tamanho de metade do barco, com duas longas presas. Deixo o barco à deriva e algumas nadam ao nosso lado. Eu nunca tinha visto esses animais fora d’água. A placa de gelo é pequena demais para abrigar o grupo todo, e as morsas estão amontoadas umas sobre as outras. Algumas parecem brigar, batendo as presas umas contra as outras. Elas têm os hábitos típicos dos mamíferos que se sentem à vontade: dormem, arrotam e soltam gases que me deixam tonta no barco. Me afasto do grupo, porque ainda há muito gelo pela frente e, em breve, serei eu quem vai precisar desesperadamente dormir. 🇫🇷 Une plaque de glace sur laquelle on distingue une tache sombre qui bouge. Je m’approche et découvre un grand groupe de morses. D’énormes animaux, presque aussi grands que la moitié du bateau, dotés de deux longues défenses. Je laisse le bateau à la dérive et certains nagent à nos côtés. Je n’avais jamais vu ces animaux hors de l’eau. La plaque de glace est trop petite pour accueillir tout le groupe, et les morses sont entassés les uns sur les autres. Certains semblent se battre, entrechoquant leurs défenses. Ils ont les habitudes typiques des mammifères qui se sentent à l’aise : ils dorment, rotent et lâchent des gaz qui me donnent le vertige sur le bateau. Je m’éloigne du groupe, car il reste encore beaucoup de glace à parcourir et, d’ici peu, ce sera moi qui aurai désespérément besoin de dormir. 🇺🇸 An ice floe with a dark, moving spot on it. I get closer and find a large group of walruses. Huge animals, almost half the size of the boat, with two long tusks. I let the boat drift, and some of them swim alongside us. I’d never seen these animals out of the water before. The ice floe is too small to hold the whole group, and the walruses are piled on top of one another. Some seem to be fighting, clacking their tusks against each other’s. They have the typical habits of mammals that feel at ease: they sleep, burp, and pass gas, which makes me dizzy on the boat. I move away from the group, because there’s still a lot of ice ahead, and soon I’ll be the one who desperately needs to sleep.

Full sails, full day. Find your adventure aboard a BENETEAU Oceanis 46.1. Learn more at https://www.beneteau.com/en-us/oceanis/oceanis-461. -- About BENETEAU -- The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 140 years ago. Since that time, the BENETEAU brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe. Over the years, our commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who we are in order to bring you the best boat possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. We’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do our part in protecting the incredible world which we explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean we’ve turned our back on tradition. One thing we’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies. -- Philosophy -- We’re a lot like you. We love the water in all its forms – the ocean, bays, lakes, and rivers. And we love sharing the boating lifestyle with our family and friends. This love manifests itself in every BENETEAU built in any one of our many manufacturing facilities worldwide. Every BENETEAU sailboat and powerboat on the water reflects the best efforts of the finest architects, designers, and craftsmen along with the highest quality materials and the latest innovations. When you purchase a BENETEAU, you become a valued member of our BENETEAU family. For this reason, our after-sale service is second to none as evidenced by the multitude of National Marine Manufacturers CSI Awards for Excellence in Customer Service. At the core of this outstanding service is our exceptional dealer network. Every one of our authorized BENETEAU dealers will be there for you – from choosing the right yacht to the handover and beyond. Your dealer will be your able guide when it comes to maintaining your boat properly and will help you maximize the return on your investment when it comes time to step up to another BENETEAU – and it usually does! We wouldn’t have it any other way.
