Notte a motore, che significa notte di riposo. 😴 Eh si, unpopolar opinion: niente vento significa niente onde, che significa barca ferma e sonno assicurato 😄 Comunque l’alba arriva in fretta, e con lei un filo di vento. Prima genoa, poi gennaker. Manteniamo una media di 140 miglia al giorno circa. Con il gennaker manteniamo comunque i nostri dignitosissimi 5 nodi di velocità. Domenica di riposo, di giochi di società, di chiacchiere e relax. Qualcuno legge, qualcun altro sonnecchia, altri due ancora sistemano cose (oggi il tangone). I prossimi due giorni è previsto che non siano molto diversi da oggi, poco vento e alta pressione. Noi procediamo verso nord-est, inseguendo il vento, seppur godendoci ugualmente uno scorcio di vita un po’ più lenta. Buona domenica a tutti ⛵️💙 C.
At the westcoast of Portugal, about 50 km below Porto, you'll find the charming city of Aviero. On it's canals, the moliceiro boats sail. They look stylish and elegant like a gondola. In the past, this type of boat was used to collect seaweed in the lagoon. With a kind of rakes that are attached to the boat, the weed could be removed from the shallow bottom. It was then used as fertilizer in agriculture. Now these Portuguese boats are now used for tourist boat trips. It was a pleasure to see them pass by, with happy tourists in it. The canals have colorful bridges and I made a video of a violinist standing next to the bridge, as the moliceiro boats pass by.
