What drives an experienced sailor owner who after having developed a working activity with excellent results at some point in his life, decides to sell his established industry to venture into the construction of a large 40 meter long (130 feet) sailing boat to be used for long cruises and for sailing competitions if not the true and authentic passion for the sea and sailing.

This owner already owns a smaller sailboat called My Song 84 feet long (25 meters) very famous among sailing enthusiasts for having won many regattas including the extraordinary Maxi Rolex Cup in the Racing-Cuising category.

- Digam-me de qual deles vocês gostaram mais?

- O meu favorito é o terceiro e o de vocês?

- Já sei, já sei que ninguém vai responder-me .

- Nem deveria ter perguntado.

- Já conheço a causa dessa indiferença. Anos e anos de escravidão. De repente diante da possibilidade de interagir, opinar, participar, influir, marcar presença em fim, o oprimido enrigece.

- Natural!

- Bom feriado meus prezados escravos da tirânica Sociedade de Consumo!

- Ei, que tal substituir a lancha, com o perdão da palavra lancha, por um veleiro?

- Já tinham pensado nisso?

- Não?

- Então pensem, que pensar é sempre bom e agradável.

- Difícil é pensar no meio da barafunda infernal que a cidade moderna produz dia e noite.

- Não é verdade?

- Ontem à noite tentei desesperadamente redigir este post sem sucesso.
