Getting around when you're cruising to destinations far from home can be challenging, even if you have a folding, stowable bicycle.

Come along as boats.com reviewer Zuzana Prochzka takes a peek at this cool new cruising solution from Beneteau. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2014/05/beneteau-bike-first-look-video/ For more boating videos, visit http://www.boats.com.

Dopo un paio d'ore circa di navigazione, riusciamo anche ad andare a vela con 18/20 nodi di poppa, passa sopra le nostre teste un fronte temporalesco, in lontananza una tromba marina prende forma, ci organizziamo subito, chiudiamo le vele, rizziamo meglio il tender e la passerella appoggiata ai candelieri sul ponte, via la canna da pesca e tutti gli imbarazzi nel pozzetto, serriamo le cime addugliate sui verricelli e prepariamo le lame del tambuccio per chiudere prima che di riempire la barca di acqua salata. Siamo pronti al peggio, ma la tromba marina si dissolve... sospiro di sollievo che dura poco. Infatti un'altra è in formazione proprio davanti a noi, stavolta anche più grande, noi siamo già pronti, penso di accelerare la velocità della barca per avere una inerzia maggiore, e prevalere con l'impatto della tromba marina in modo da uscirne dall'altra parte più velocemente possibile! Tremila giri, quasi otto nodi di velocità e lei è davanti a noi a meno di mille metri!! Cambio ancora rotta, ma sembra che ovunque metta la prua, lei riesca a starci davanti, adesso è leggermente a dritta avanza verso terra e l'angolo con la nostra rotta non cambia, siamo in rotta di collisione! Stiamo solo aspettando, secondi!! Ma se è vero che ognuno di noi ha un angelo custode, il mio è intervenuto anche stavolta, a meno di 500 metri si dissolve, sembra sollevarsi verso l'alto come se fosse un genio della lampada che torna all'interno della sua casa, stavolta verso l'alto però! Paura o timore di far danni? Tutto passato.
