I was doing a pathetically slow speed of about 1.3 knots, and they were doing only marginally less pathetic speed of about 1.4: it was like two snails in a mating dance.
Yo iba a una velocidad patéticamente lenta, de 1,3 nudos y ellos a una velocidad un poco menos patética de 1,4. Como dos caracoles en un juego de apareamiento.
