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.
Stavo andando ad una velicità pateticamente bassa di circa 1,3 nodi, e loro stavano facendo solo marginalmente meglio a circa 1,4. Sembravamo due lumache in una danza di accoppiamento.
