Publishes the navigator Guillermo Gefaell Chamochin on the well-known nautical portal "La Taberna del Puerto": "As far as I know, the breakup of an obese led the stick to break the deck. One of the crew was amputated by some finger and a water line resulting from poor repair in the Canary Islands, further complicated things. After leaving the ship in their own luck, the crew is being taken by a merchant to Martinique, where they will arrive in a couple of days. The important thing is that they are fine, but I am very sorry for all of them, especially for the owner of the Moflete, Tucho Díaz Lorente, for having lost his great ship. "

06 / 02 / 2018: No personal damage... "Moflete" sinks 800 miles from Martinique

The navigator Pontevedrés Juan Carlos Pérez Olmedo wrote on facebook at the edge of the mid-afternoon of Monday: "Moflete is about 800 miles from Martinique with serious and serious difficulties. The port seal has been released and has caused serious damage. The wood is in danger and there is a possibility that they will have to leave the ship. By sailing to the engine it is possible that they can reach Martinique but the reserves do not reach beyond 500 miles. The damage has raised part of the deck. They need solidarity between sailors and beyond, politicians too, give a hand for someone to deliver 600 litres of diesel. Only that..."

A legend from the Galician cruise candle... we've gone... the best part is that we didn't have to regret personal misfortunes...

Another well-known Galician navigator, as Javi Montenegro is hours later, wrote: "Moflete Sail from the Pontevedra Ria with many friends on board goes deep this afternoon 800 miles from Martinique... little information we have about the motive... all the crew safe on a freighter passing through the area... goes a mythical of the Rias Bajas... Farewell Moflete!!! Read comments!! Expand information and correct the error!!!..." Not to say that hundreds of amateurs and friends, they collapsed the networks for a good time, concerned about the state of the crew... fortunately the miracle was done and even though everything was painted very badly, not less than 800 meters from Martinique, the end was happy...

At seven in the afternoon three Gallegos and a manchego left the port of Commud to turn the world around on the "Moflete," a 14-meter sailing boat, Centurion 47 model, equipped with the most modern communications technology. It has been a few centuries since I left a port of Pontevedra an expedition to turn the world around. This time they are not at the service of the Spanish Crown and will not discover the Incognite Terra, they simply propose to travel around the world on a journey that will last several months. Remembering our great navigators dedicated to exploration, such as Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa or the Nodales brothers, the ship left the river of Pontevedra, from the Panzán de Commud, with a good north wind and deployed the candle to the height of Tambo Island until it was lost on the horizon. The brothers Antonio (Tucho) and Francisco (Paco) Díaz Lorente, the manchego of Socuélamos Miguel Molina García and the Vigués Xoán Campos form the initial team of the expedition, and do not rule out that other pontevedresas are being added along the way to carry out some stage. They have been planning this trip for a year and to which Miguel Molina joined on the march, when he traveled to Pontevedra this summer to see the premiere of the documentary La Mymito de Manolo Yáñez and, between cup and cup, joined the project. Xoan, a diver and a sailing expert, is in charge of the communications; Mill of the camera; and Tucho is the captain of the expedition. In times when you cannot sail the South Pacific, for example from August to November, Tucho will temporarily return to Pontevedra, while the others wait on the boat.
