Questa non è solo una storia di un ragazzo in bici, paesaggi e mare. È una piccola ribellione. Ma anche un viaggio interiore. Un modo diverso di viaggiare — più lento, più autentico. Il mio nuovo video YouTube è online. Link in bio. 📹 Spero possa arrivare a chi ne ha più bisogno, a chi sogna, ma ha paura di partire. Che possa smuovere qualcosa. Anche solo un passo verso il proprio sogno. A chi ha ancora il coraggio di fermarsi. A chi sogna in grande, anche nel silenzio. Un abbraccio, Gegio Peace. Love. Sea
5 more amazing insights into sailing myths.... *Naked Figureheads...* Ships were always adorned with a topless female figurehead, despite the common ban on women, because her bare breasts were believed to be the only thing that could truly calm a raging, tempestuous sea. The logic is a masterpiece of male projection: women distract sailors and anger the sea, yet a carved woman must be sacrificed to the elements to appease them both. A polarizing double standard! *The Word "Pig"...* Uttering the name of the humble, porcine farm animal was strictly forbidden on a sailing ship, a bizarre taboo that made even the word itself an omen of shipwreck. The common theory is dark, but practical: pigs transported in wooden crates were often the only survivors of a wreck, leading superstitious sailors to believe the creature's name was a perverse magnet for disaster. *Cat's Sneezing Omen...* A ship’s cat was a prized, lucky companion, but if that particular feline companion sneezed, it was a sudden, irrefutable prophecy that a severe rainstorm was immediately on its way. Cats were revered because they hunted the disease-carrying rats that chewed through the critical ropes and wooden hulls. That sneeze was just an excuse to pamper a valuable crew member, or maybe a simple fur-ball warning. *Tattooed Pigs and Roosters...* Sailors often tattooed a pig on one foot and a rooster on the other, believing these barnyard animals were powerful talismans against a watery grave. These animals were often carried in lightweight, buoyant wooden crates as livestock. The logic was: if the ship sank, the pigs and roosters would float ashore, symbolically guiding the sailor to safety. *Killing the Albatross...* To harm or kill the majestic Albatross was to commit the ultimate nautical sin, inviting the full, unforgiving wrath of the sea upon the entire crew. This myth, powerfully immortalized in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, was actually a clever cultural deterrent to stop hungry, bored sailors from killing a bird that was genuinely helpful for navigation.
