Arpex - Leap year project

I've been working on a photo-book, whith the images from the construction of Arpex. A very entertaining past-time. Renata Duarte is helping me with editing of images into the Digipix format, which seem to deliver impeccable quality. The result, I think, will be fabulous.

I was looking for a good phrase to open the book. While browsing in the "Sailors Wisdom" book, I realised that the construction started on the 29th. February 2008. It had never occurred to me before, that the construction of Arpex had started in a leap year (or intercalary or bissextile year). Therefore, I couldn't find a wisdom of the day for the starting day. So I just chose another one I liked:

Tweny years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the tradewinds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Mark Twain

Daqui a vinte anos você ficará mais desapontado com as coisas que você deixou de fazer doque com as coisas que você realmente fez. Então, solte as amarras. Veleje para longe do porto seguro. Capture o vento em suas velas. Explore. Sonhe. Descubra.

Mark Twain
