IRON MAN V

2024/03/03

In these particular times of digital delirium and decadence, where the magical physical-spiritual composition that is the human being is simply devalued by a computer or by an artificial unintelligence So intelligent it is that cannot explain in an intelligent way why we cannot return to the moon or if we will return one day , but finds an innumerable number of intelligent excuses to answer the question Curiously the moon landing we had done decades ago with less technology that the one used by Dan on board the Scia crossing the Atlantic.

However very far from nowadays five years ago on a day like today with elementary instruments that later were lost and left him absolutely without instruments and in a spiritual geographic trip on the third of March Dan Lenard completed his solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean from Cadiz to Fort Lauderdale with a symbolic stop in Antigua

The world was very different then, perhaps more innocent but perhaps more human.
The crossing can be contemplated today from different points of view, there will be those who appreciate it and those who despise it but one thing is undeniable, you have to have the courage to do it.
Nevertheless the sea was surely conceived as a rebel; there are people who are happy at sea because perhaps ultimately happiness is a form of rebellion specially in digital dangerous times.

The voyage is today, , simply an example of what a single person with courage, conviction and a little bit of audacity can do and is able to go and step higher in life. The voyage is simply the proof that an ordinary man is capable of dreaming and realizing impossible things.

Nowadays the world proposes us, like the only option for life a boring digital free fall linked to daily conformism, thus losing every day drop by drop the best attributes of the human being . That they are like at the crossing , also spiritual. The new man proposed by the modern safe world is separated from the spirit, the new man separated from the sea, the proposal is not a very nice option that even if it is digital is not very intelligent

“Intelligence is the capacity to perceive the essential, the what is. And to awaken this capacity; in oneself or others is education” as Jiddu Krishnamurti said

The voyage generates many things as for example The vela code had been born there in that voyage where the concept or the idea of what is today the Vela Code movement, a movement that promotes clean oceans free of plastics and pollution , to protect the environment
What was an idea today is materialized in a movement , that will have a mobile platform for the promotion of the project that is the ex telefonica black today the boat is called Vela .Movement is also supported by a series of conferences given by Dan Lenard in different boat shows, yacht clubs and even schools honoring that it is an educational project

And beside everything as much as there are artificial unintelligences ; the human intelligence is the one that multiplies the energy

A famous argentinian writer said once: “there are only two things that can make an impact on you at first glance , one is the love , the other one is the sea”

keep happy

keep sailing
