Nessuno ha fatto meglio di noi. Una sola penalita’ al termine di una giornata di prove in circuito e lungo la vallata dei gallesi, alla ricerca di timbri nelle cappellette anglicane, una specie di caccia al tesoro o giro delle Sette chiese. La prova in circuito prevedeva una media tra i 70 e gli 80. Ci siamo fatti un po’ di conti e abbiamo deciso di fare il giro-base in 3 minuti e quaranta secondi. Due Ghibli al lavoro e via. Tre e quaranta spaccati nel giro-base, netto al primo passaggio, netto al secondo, netto al terzo. Un secondo di ritardo in chiusura. Una penalita’ in tutto. Grandi complimenti, felicitazioni, curiosita’ sulla nostra tecnica. Io che facevo lo sbrasone, dicendo: “Tenete presente poi che la macchina cammina con soli due cilindri…” Vagabunda non si e’ affaticata, da’ l’impressione di poter marciare tranquilla. Al punto che stiamo ragionando sull’opportunita’ o meno di farle aprire il motore a Buenos Aires. Intanto, domani ci riposiamo. La penisola Valdes ci aspetta, con le balene, i leoni di mare e tante altre meraviglie. E’ una specie di Argentario, con i due enormi golfi aperti parzialmente sull’Atlantico. Ci sono spiagge amplissime, le escursioni turistiche hanno rilanciato una regione che soffriva il deserto d’intorno e la lontananza dalla capitale. E’ cambiata la temperatura, grande bucato, andremo adesso alla ricerca di internet, sperando di trovarne uno piu’ rapido di quello di ieri, quando non siamo riusciti a trasmettere
WE WON THE LEG No one made better than us- Only one second of penalty after one day with circuit tests an trough valley looking for stamps in little Welsh chapels. Average for circuit tour was between 70 and 80 km/h. We decided to do it in 3’ 40” and used two Ghibli. So we did the first and three others exactly in 3’40” and got 1” in the last one. Everybody were congratulating us and asking us for information about our technique. I started to show off saying “and you have to know that Vagabunda only has 2 cylinder working…” Vagabunda is going well now and we are thinking about opening her engine in Buenos Aires. Tomorrow she will have a day rest and we will visit this wonderful peninsula. Whales, elephant seals, penguins are waiting for us. There are big beaches; tourism helped this area that suffered for desert al around and farness from Capital. Now it is a bit warmer: big washing and Internet. We hope to find a quick one. Yesterday we could’ send anything. WE WON THE LEG No one made better than us- Only one second of penalty after one day with circuit tests an trough valley looking for stamps in little Welsh chapels.
