Why? Many want to hold you in my arms, volverte of fondling, but ... long, How long this time! I have what I want, without actually having it at all. What I lack? Sosiego?? What overwhelms me, atormenta me ...?
This up and down feelings driving me insane, crazy. For you, the ti, What do I do here? I have what I want and do not want, but I love him with all my heart. Why? What fails?

Such amount of all. Cruel irony, absolute truth, human stupidity that makes us equal
Reply, What are simple! You are here, offer me your eternal wisdom and I can not see. Tupimos our senses ... Such amount of all. Cruel irony, absolute truth, human stupidity that makes us equal. Would not you rather go to a weekend field? Answer that you walk with me and I without seeing you, How blind am! Who has blinded…? Possibly myself. Let me drink you, saborearte, give life once, Finally!
How simple are and how difficult to know ... What is the answer? Simplicity?? Simplicity is the answer! Pégate IM and the ever separate you. Let the simplicity of your walk is also mine.
When I finished my last shift rowing, I could not suppress the urge to write these thoughts. It rose every word without thinking. My hand was limited to drawing on paper everything that was landing on my mind. At noon we had just did not guess what was seen in the sky, squarely at the high, very high, where clusters float at will. Is it a bird, of a plane or Superman? Finally we concluded that it was a migratory bird over three meter wingspan. Flying, or rather, hung in the air like a Jumbo. No moving, do not seem to, but traveling at high speed. In a few minutes disappeared from sight. From west to east, probably from Amazon America to Africa, a distance of more than 5.000 km, as long as ours, but how soon?
Our physician, foresaw a deterioration of our mood after the first few months of sailing
Antonio Bermudo, our doctor, foresaw a deterioration of our mood after the first few months of sailing and we provided a natural compound called Sinansi. This is an excerpt from the Griffonia simplicifolia, a leguminous plant of African origin that contains high concentrations of the amino acid tryptophan, a natural precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin, mechanisms involved in anxiety and depression. We should have added to the diet to encourage us in our last few weeks but, whims of fate, we had so much of everything we did not find. Ya en Barbados, and fully cleaning rumpus, discover the privileged place where you are located to protect from moisture and heat all.
Not surprisingly one of the subjects of study and preparation were the consequences of the disorders that we produce sleep deprivation as primary energy repairman. That would cause, a slow but progressive, changes in our ability to concentrate, character and mood. In some extreme cases a man can live for up to ninety days without food, seven or more without drinking liquids, but can not spend more than three no sleep at all and without causing changes in health.
Our frustration ... is intense .... When depression invaded us, we argued violently
In transoceanic voyages mood problems are not unknown. Johnstone and Hoare rowers were a clear and tragic example. Without food and without seeing boats, even browsing full trade route, read in his diary for the day 50 drive following: "My nerves are skin. I had a ridiculous infighting that left me weak and trembling, I'm sad and depressed as ever and very unhappy. I just want to be with my friends and family again '. Keep the paper in its day 63: "Our frustration is intense ... .... When depression invaded us, we argued violently ». Discussion that, apparently, not last more than an hour and was not repeated during the rest of the trip. A few days, namely the number 66, vessel Benghazi they provided food; their spirits were recharged and continued rowing. But the day 104 recount trip: "We can not stop a boat with this sea and we hungry calm before the storm '. To the next, the 105, the paper ends with this sentence: "The two hope this bad luck is over».
The Office U.S. Navy Oceanographic, in its publication of cyclones in the North Atlantic, refers to the day corresponding to 107 to the log of the two missing paddlers in the area where they wrote their last words. According to the testimony of the freighter Alberto Bannati, This merchant was in the vicinity when Hurricane Faith beat the area with winds of force 105 knots and waves up to eight meters high. They themselves lost a member of her crew and suffered severe damage.
In his travels transoceanic not stop or feed, and even before you set your weight increase migration between 40 and 100% as reserve
Regarding the migratory bird that contemplate, I want to complete some of its features to keep relativizing and learning. In his travels transoceanic not stop or feed, and even before you set your weight increase migration between 40 and 100% as reserve. They do very little active flight, flapping their wings as little as possible to conserve energy resources by applying the principle of energy conservation.
For example, Asian golden plover (Pluvialis fulva) fly nonstop for over 100 hours to cover the distance of 4.000 a 6.000 kilometers from northern Siberia and Alaska to Hawaii and other islands in the Pacific Ocean. Another example is the albatross, that can reach the 3,6 meter wingspan, allowing daily walk a thousand miles over the sea. A sophisticated glide method enables him to make the most wind conditions and is so effective that
just need to flap their wings.

Deep questions and reflections which becomes one in solitude and in extreme situations. And how right when you say that the answer lies next, joining us, without being aware of its presence, embedded in our mental turmoil. Simplicity, simple word and tremendously deep in meaning……
