Marton István dr. - A large átkelés

Navigare necesse est, vivere non est necesse! (You have to sail, you don't have to live!) - said Pomperius. Encouraged by this, the six enterprising people - the crew of the Baghira - embark on a ship to follow Columbus and cross the ocean to reach the New World. The journey - according to their plans - will consist of two defining stages: One stage from Rogoznica in Croatia - bypassing the Apennine peninsula, crossing the Strait of Messina, sailing between the rocks of Szkülla and Kharübdisz, reaching the Atlantic Ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar - reaching the to Las Palmas in the Canary Islands. There, after taking a deep breath and a few days of rest, recharging and preparing, take part in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers "competition" organized by the World Cruising Club, in the company of more than two hundred boats.
