When it comes to traveling, the majority of people choose a comfortable type of transportation such as planes, buses, and cars. However, there are those who choose to experiment and take on more adventurous types of traveling, for instance, sailing on the sea with a car. Marco Amoretti and his friend Marcolino De Candia became the first-ever people who crossed the Atlantic ocean with the help of a floating car. Apparently, it was Marco’s father, Giorgio, who came up with such an insane idea. A year prior to being diagnosed with terminal cancer, Giorgio devised a “sea-auto” and had a dream of crossing the ocean with it. However, he was too sick to complete the trip, so his three sons and Marcolino set out to make his dream a reality. https://www.boredpanda.com/transatlantic-floating-car-marco-amoretti-marco-de-candia/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic 1 Like

On May 4th, 1999, the young men sailed away from the Canary islands to reach the other side of the Atlantic ocean. They used a wrecked Volkswagen Passat and a Ford Taunus filled with buoyant polyurethane to complete the trip. “The driver and passenger compartment was arranged as a shelter. On top of the car, we had a rubber boat with a hole in the middle that allowed us to climb in and out of the car”, Marco told the National American Journal Enquirer. However, Marco’s two brothers couldn’t complete the trip and had to go home due to severe seasickness. But this didn’t discourage the two friends who remained sure they would be able to sail across the ocean. 10 Likes

The journey wasn’t easy. The pair was frequently battered by storms and was also pummeled by a typhoon. At one instance, they lost all contact with the world when their satellite phone broke down. “When we finally called home again, I kept asking about my father…...they didn’t tell us anything so as not to lower our morale, but just before we arrived in Martinique, I found out he had died,” said Marco. 12 Likes

Flexherbal:Thanks very much for this comment. Anybody that understands the hierarchy of needs will definitely hate to have anything to do with our leaders and their poor leadership styles. They have destroyed people's thinking such that we only strive to fulfil our primitive needs. Thanks once again for the good insight. |
