Chegada do TRIDENTE em 2 de Agosto de 2010


Transcrevemos, com bastante emoção, a seguinte mensagem do Senhor Almirante Bastos Saldanha, da Marinha do Tejo, que agradecemos:

«Procedente do estaleiro alemão seu construtor, o Navio da República Portuguesa TRIDENTE, a mais moderna unidade da nossa Armada, chegou à Base Naval de Lisboa (Alfeite) ao fim da manhã do dia 2 de Agosto de 2010.

Em qualquer país ocidental, a chegada inaugural de um navio ao seu porto de armamento é a ocasião única para lhe prestar honras de soberania mas também de festa maior para as comunidades marítima e náutica e a população, sinal indelével de incorporação na Identidade Pátria.

Não foi assim na manhã radiosa de 2 de Agosto, em que apenas o Estuário milenar deu as boas vindas ao TRIDENTE, conjuntamente com dois rebocadores, a lancha dos Pilotos, uma unidade auxiliar da Capitania do Porto de Lisboa e três canoas da Marinha do Tejo: a ANA PAULA, o QUIM ZÉ e o GAVIÃO DOS MARES. Por ser dia de trabalho, os humildes não puderam participar mas estiveram presentes por intermédio dos seus camaradas.


Com a devida vénia ao seu autor, Prof. Doutor Fernando Carvalho Rodrigues, transcreve-se em seguida o depoimento expressivo de alguém que muito ama Portugal e venera a Marinha dos Portugueses: «Mal entrou no Tejo, o Tridente, vindo da Alemanha, avistou canoas do Tejo, da Marinha do Tejo. Nesse momento viu que finalmente estava em casa. Não estavam dignatários à sua espera. Pensou que ainda bem, porque assim estava sem mácula, apenas a Alma límpida de Portugal. Soube que estava na sua Pátria. Trazia embarcados Oficiais e Guarnição. Vinha a bordo o Almirante da Esquadra. Ele, e eles, ficaram a saber o que defendem. Deus os Guarde a Ele e a todos os que nele embarcarem.»

FAMILY REUNION!!!!!!


Photos by Sailor Girl!!!


WE WELCOMED «SANTA MARIA MANUELA»!!!

Photo by Sailor Girl of newly reborn and refitted «SANTA MARIA MANUELA», «CREOULA»'s twin sister (born in Lisbon, on May 10th, 1937). She came to Lisbon on May 11th, where she met her sister, after 40 years of separation and unbearable agony. They both welcomed the Pope, who had a magnificent view to all beautiful ships that were allowed to attend the Mass. It was a grand emotion. We were not able to save «MAXIM GORKYI» from her unfortune and unnecessary slaughter and scrap at Alang Beach, but at least we were compensated by this great miracle!!! Long Live All Ships' Saviours!!!... In this case, Pascoal Family and Portuguese Navy!!!

MARCH 2010 - THEME DAY

(Photo by Sailor Girl)
Today's Theme Day at CDPB is... PASSAGEWAY. I chose this one, used mainly by seagulls and tugs by the Tagus River. Unfortunatelly, the tug in the picture («Caramujo») has recently been sold to Angola, along with «Montevil». They will sail away soon and will both be missed. A contribution to CDPB, wishing you a really Happy Day, all over the World!... Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

«O» is also for «Open Letter»

«Dear Sirs, Deputies to the European Parliament, I would like to draw your attention to the following. My main blog, Atlântico Azul, is a space of Freedom and Happiness shared with many people all over the World. It is also vital to promote and advertise the sailing events and specially the races held in the River Tagus and organised by the Tagus Navy («Marinha do Tejo»), composed of the traditional sailing barges of the Tagus. I was informed that the Telecoms Package will be voted by the European Parliament committees by all MEPs. I have serious concerns that the changes that the European Parliament is proposing will adversely affect not only business but also Freedom of Speech within the European Union.
I understand that the European Parliament is proposing to include changes to the law which will affect my access to the Internet, and which may limit, restrict or place conditions on my ability to access websites and services.I use the Internet everyday to work, shop, socialise, bank, research, listen to music, enjoy cultural activities, talk to friends and family, order tickets, choose my holidays, pursue my interests and hobbies...and much more.
The changes in the law that the European Parliament is proposing will permit my broadband provider to offer me a limited, restricted or conditional service. My concern is that such changes will kill the life of the Internet as we know it, and could have serious, detrimental economic impact on Europe’s economy. I am writing to ask you, as my representative in the European Parliament, to vote to protect our right to promote free sailing events and to trade and do business and anything not illegal using the Internet.
As we live in a democratic society, we need to openly debate these issues and establish the principles for the Internet as society. Please support amendments which safeguard my rights to access and distribute content, services and applications and reject any text which talks about ‘lawful content’ or about placing limitations, restrictions or conditions on my Internet access. In particular, I would like you to guarantee my rights to freely use the Internet, and ensure that all websites and services are accessible to all users. Please do also support the creation of legislation preventing abuses by the telecoms/mobile phone providers which, in connection with value-added services providers, are allowing the latter to send us value-added SMS’s (without the consumers having asked for that)! This is an abuse, I have complained to the national authorities and supervisors (ICP-ANACOM) and they do not even bother to reply.
Yours sincerely, Sailor Girl
ADENDA
A única resposta que recebi até ao momento foi a do Senhor Deputado Carlos Coelho, a quem muito agradeço. Por ter recebido muitas mensagens sobre o assunto, destacou a resposta dada no site dele AQUI.
The only answer received by now was by Deputy Carlos Coelho, to whom I thank so much. You may find the answer to the several requests he has been receiving at his homepage HERE.

It reminds me of the Wildlife that may be seen at River Tagus, between Lisbon and Moita.
Atlântico Azul is ever so PROUD to inform that Master José Projecto, a Portuguese Artist from Alentejo (Portugal), was yesterday's «Artist of the Day» at [Nature Artists]!!!... You MUST visit his gallery of masterpieces at his homepage [HERE].
O post de hoje refere-se ao reconhecimento internacional de mais um grande artista Português demasiado desconhecido na sua terra. Podem aceder à Galeria do Mestre José Projecto [AQUI].
