It depicts our beautiful Portuguese Sail Training Tall Ship [CREOULA], to whom I dedicated the song by Manu Chao, surrounded by Blue!... Here go the lyrics of the second music now playing at Rádio Atlântico Azul:

«Me gustan los aviones, me gustas tu. Me gusta viajar, me gustas tu. Me gusta la mañana, me gustas tu. Me gusta el viento, me gustas tu. Me gusta soñar, me gustas tu. Me gusta la mar, me gustas tu. Que voy a hacer, je ne sais pas... Que voy a hacer? Je ne sais plus. Que voy a hacer? Je suis perdu. Que horas son, mi corazon? Me gusta la moto, me gustas tu. Me gusta correr, me gustas tu. Me gusta la lluvia, me gustas tu. Me gusta volver, me gustas tu. Me gusta marihuana, me gustas tu. Me gusta colombiana, me gustas tu. Me gusta la montaña, me gustas tu. Me gusta la noche, me gustas tu. Que voy a hacer? Je ne sais pas... Que voy a hacer? Je ne sais plus. Que voy a hacer? Je suis perdu. Que horas son, mi corazon?... Me gusta la cena, me gustas tu. Me gusta la vecina, me gustas tu. Me gusta su cocina, me gustas tu. Me gusta camelar, me gustas tu. Me gusta la guitarra, me gustas tu. Me gusta el regaee, me gustas tu. Que voy a hacer? Je ne sais pas. Que voy a hacer? Je ne sais plus. Que voy a hacer? Je suis perdu... Que horas son, mi corazon?... Me gusta la canela, me gustas tu. Me gusta el fuego, me gustas tu. Me gusta menear, me gustas tu. Me gusta la Coruña, me gustas tu. Me gusta Malasaña, me gustas tu. Me gusta la castaña, me gustas tu. Me gusta Guatemala, me gustas tu. Que voy a hacer? Je ne sais pas. Que voy a hacer? Je ne sais plus. Que voy a hacer? Je suis perdu... Que horas son, mi corazon?...»

PROJECT BLUE - TAKE 3. Now playing at Rádio Atlântico Azul

«Haja o que houver, eu estou aqui. Haja o que houver, espero por ti. Volta no vento ó meu amor, volta depressa, por favor! Há quanto tempo já esqueci por que fiquei longe de ti... Cada momento é pior! Volta no vento por favor. Eu sei quem és para mim... Haja o que houver, espero por ti. Há quanto tempo, já esqueci por que fiquei longe de ti. Cada momento é pior. Volta no vento por favor... Eu sei quem és para mim... Haja o que houver, espero por ti... Eu sei, eu sei quem és para mim. Haja o que houver, espero por ti.»

«Haja o que houver», por Madredeus, a tocar agora na Rádio Atlântico Azul, a pedido do António, que a dedica ao Aniversariante Zé "o Barracuda" Manel.

Today's photo (which I downloaded from the internet) is also Take 3 for Anna Carson's [PROJECT BLUE]. It depicts our beautiful Portuguese Ocean and goes along with the first song now playing at Radio Atlântico Azul, called «Haja o que Houver» («Whatever happens»), by Portuguese Band «Madredeus». I hope you all enjoy it! And now, as a small treat, part of the lyrics of this beautiful song, dedicated by António to Zé "Barracuda" Manel:

«Whatever happens, I'll be here. Whatever happens, I'll wait for you. Come back in the wind, oh my beloved, come back quickly please. How long has it been, I have already forgotten why I stayed away from you... Each moment that passes it gets worse. Come back in the wind, please. I know who you are for me. Whatever happens, I'll wait for you»...

PROJECT BLUE - TAKE 2

Today's photo (by Sailor Girl) is Take 2 for Anna Carson's [PROJECT BLUE]. It depicts a passengers list aboard an ancient portuguese passengership named «SANTA MARIA» (one of those marvellous portuguese ships I do not understand why they had to be scrapped).

And now, for someting completely different, a wonderful recipe (Bolo de Congelador) I've just stollen from this Cape Verdian [SITE], recommended to me by Klatuu, o Embuçado!!! The respective translation will be added as soon as possible...

Ingredientes:

• 200 g de manteiga
• 100 g de chocolate em barra
• 125 g de açúcar
• 3 ovos
• 250 g de bolacha Maria

Derreter a manteiga e bater. Derreter o chocolate em banho maria e misturar à manteiga, juntando também o açúcar. Deitar os ovos um a um e continuar a bater durante 20 minutos. Partir as bolachas ao meio, humedecer cada metade ligeiramente em café preto e dispo-las numa forma que vá ao congelador (de preferência em vidro ou loiça) do seguinte modo: 1ª camada do creme acima preparado; 2ª camada de bolachas;3ª camada do creme; e assim sucessivamente, terminando por uma camada de creme. Polvilhar com raspas de chocolate e levar ao congelador por 24 horas.
