«Ponde na cobiça um freio duro,
E na ambição também, que indignamente
Tomais mil vezes, e no torpe e escuro
Vício da tirania infame e urgente;
Porque essas honras vãs, esse ouro puro,
Verdadeiro valor não dão à gente:
Milhor é merecê-los sem os ter,
Que possuí-los sem os merecer.
Ou dai na paz as leis iguais, constantes,
Que aos grandes não dêem o dos pequenos,
Ou vos vesti nas armas rutilantes,
Contra a lei dos inimigos Sarracenos:
Fareis os Reinos grandes e possantes,
E todos tereis mais e nenhum menos:
Possuireis riquezas merecidas,
Com as honras que ilustram tanto as vidas.
E fareis claro o Rei que tanto amais,
Agora cos conselhos bem cuidados,
Agora co as espadas, que imortais
Vos farão, como os vossos já passados.
Impossibilidades não façais,
Que quem quis, sempre pôde; e numerados
Sereis entre os Heróis esclarecidos
E nesta «Ilha de Vénus» recebidos».
Os Lusíadas, Canto IX, in fine. Fotografia de Raquel Sabino Pereira.

BRING BACK «ARGUS» TO PORTUGAL!!!
AUCTION PENDING IN ARUBA!!PLEASE HELP US BRING BACK HOME OUR SHIP!!!...
Old picture downloaded from the archives of Lisbon's Town Hall, describing the blessing of the Portuguese White Fleet in the 1950's and 1960's, usually in April, at Tagus River (Lisbon), before departing for the Codfish Campaigns in Newfoundland. One of them in the picture, the schooner «POLYNESIA II» (former «ARGUS»), sister of «CREOULA» and «SANTA MARIA MANUELA», CAN become Portuguese again very soon!... YES WE CAN!!! WE CAN BRING HER BACK TO PORTUGAL!!!
Built in 1939 in the Netherlands for Lisbon based owners Parceria Geral de Pescarias, «ARGUS» has been cruising in the Caribbeans since 1976 under the name «POLYNESIA II». Sold by Parceria in 1974 to Canadian interests (White Fleet Cruise Ships), she was resold in 1975 to Windjammer Barefoot and converted to carry 126 passengers. However, this company has gone bankrupt... and we are affraid that «ARGUS» will be «left outside alone»...
Following the track left by A. Fangueiro and by me (on my post of January 7, 2008) and by John Seaman, Pedro Vasconcelos and myself tried to track the auction of Argus that was announced for January 2009 in Aruba (GMT -4). We have sent messages to the lawyers of Kloes & Partners in Aruba, but so far not received answers. PLEASE HELP US BRING BACK HOME OUR SHIP!!!...

SO HELP HIM GOD!
I have just watched (at 5 p.m. in Lisbon) Mr. President Barack Obama becoming the 44th President of the United States! Minutes before the orchestra played an awsome music called «Air and Simple Gifts», by Yo-Yo Ma. Until I am not able to find it, I've just added two versions of the song, now playing at Rádio Atlântico Azul!!!...
As Richies, from [An Arkie's Musings], so well refers, I also hope «...that we in all countries will be able to reach out to each other a try for what is best for all people»!...
