I ritmi si fanno via via più sciolti mentre l’equipaggio si amalgama. I pasti, i turni di notte, le manovre. Poi che albe. E che tramonti. Per esempio quello di stasera è stato speciale. Immaginate la situazione: Tramonto, Blu dell’oceano che sfuma sul rosa del cielo. Onda lenta, immensa, costante. Sto leggendo sotto il boma un libro che mi assorbe completamente quando Andre porta su il pianoforte e inizia a suonare. Lentamente la mia attenzione viene attratta dalla musica che vola a un centimetro da queste onde lunghe e alte. Così alzo gli occhi e lascio che il mio sguardo mi conduca verso approdi inesplorati. Mentre guardo il movimento dell’oceano (solo di questo si potrebbe scrivere un libro), dal pozzetto la musica si interrompe e un vociare si solleva. Qualcuno ha detto balene? Delfini? Orche? Ci voltiamo tutti verso una macchia a un centinaio di metri da noi e vediamo una famiglia di orche nuotare placidamente verso nord. Che creature meravigliose. Perfino da qui lo sento. Tutti noi siamo freschi di “terrorismo orchesco” a Gibilterra quindi non sappiamo bene se goderci il momento o allarmarci. Per fortuna la natura prosegue il suo corso e la famiglia di orche sparisce presto dalla nostra vista, protetta da questa immensa distesa blu notte. Come tutto ciò che ci circonda, d’altronde. C.

Shortly after the start of Race 2 of the 2024 Narrows Regatta on Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland the lead boats were in close contact with several boats as everyone positioned for the strongest tide to push them into the main part of the lough. The J109 Going to Red was heading to the not sure if they would cross into the lead on port tack and tack the lead. They toyed with a tack to setup a leebow to take the lead, with the boat speed building quickly it was not needed as they slipped into the lead on port tack. The team at bottom up boats how you are enjoying the footage from the 2024 season, with the days getting longer it will not be long until the boat is back in the water and we can start making more memories from the 2025 racing.
