Rounding Cape St. Vincent, in Sagres, was an experience that touched the same mythical frontier sung in The Lusiads. The body feels the harsh, demanding sea, and the mind understands—without metaphor—the line: ‘whoever wishes to go beyond Cape Bojador must go beyond pain.’”
The privilege of feeling that sea, ‘never before swum,’ was an emotion beyond words.
Cold water, current, swell—but an immense energy and power.
Unforgettable
