The Transat Bakerly Boat Race is a prestigious solo sailing race that spans the vast expanse of the North Atlantic Ocean. It charts a course from Plymouth, located on the south coast of Devon, England, to the bustling metropolis of New York City. This grueling 3,050-nautical mile journey tests the mettle of the world’s finest single-handed sailors, pushing them to their limits1. In 2016, after an eight-year hiatus, the Transat Bakerly race returned, attracting a fleet of 30 boats across four different classes. The skippers embarked on this epic voyage, braving unpredictable weather conditions and navigating the open ocean. The fastest boats were expected to reach New York in just eight days2. The race commenced with great fanfare in Plymouth, where spectators gathered to witness the departure of the intrepid sailors. The fleet set sail on May 2nd, embarking on one of the most challenging solo sailing races in the world.

Forró dance

2 Followers

The word forro is used to describe a number of musical genres and dances from Brazil's Northeast region. Key elements of forró music include the accordion, triangle, and zabumba drum, although modern forró music can incorporate many other instruments. Forró has three different rythms; xote (slow), baião (medium), and arrasta pé (fast). Traditional forrólvrics were influenced by aspects of life in the Northeast such as migration and nostalgia, although today they are equally influenced by love, jealousy, and urban themes. The dances encompassed by forró take inspiration from salsa and other Caribbean dances. Forró is usually danced by couples who stand close to one another. A popular theory about the origins of 'forro' is that the name itself derives from the English phrase 'for all' as English engineers working on Brazil's Great Western Railway in the early 1900s would have organized balls 'for all'.
