- 1. The Baptism of AdriaticaNow viewing2002-02-04The story of Patrizio and Syusy's sailing training and the birth of the boat. A two-year long story: from the conception of the dream in Polynesia to the departure for the Atlantic. In the middle there is the choice of the boat, there is the discussion on how to fix it, the search for a sponsor and the doubts about the route to follow. Finally the launch, the party, the departure.
- 2. The Ocean Is No Joke!2002-04-08From the departure from Gibraltar, with the exceptional captain Cino Ricci, who finds himself having to form a crew that for half has never been on a boat and with a suffering Patrizio in the grip of seasickness, up to the Canary Islands where Syusy is waiting for the arrival of the boat. After a brief stop in the Canary Islands, Adriatica sets sail to face the Atlantic Ocean. After 16 days at sea finally the arrival in the Caribbean... our crew of landlubbers day after day becomes more and more expert in the sea and navigation, from Velisti per Caso promoted in the field to Velisti-Velisti!
- 3. Let's Meet in Cuba2002-06-24In the third episode of Velisti per Caso, after 16 days in the sea, Adriatica finally arrives in the Caribbean, in Antigua. Cesare Cremonini and Ballo from Lunapop are waiting for the Adriatica crew. Cino Ricci, after the crossing and after having given lessons as a true sailor to the crew, returns to Italy. In the meantime, Syusy has landed in Havana with Zoe and begins an adventurous crossing of the island, while Adriatica with the Lunapop on board leaves Antigua and visits the Virgin Islands. After the Virgin Islands, the journey continues towards Cuba, but a breakdown forces Adriatica to take refuge in Haiti. After this stop, Adriatica sets sail towards Santiago De Cuba: here the Roversi family is reunited, the Lunapop return to Italy and the journey begins again with a new crew.
- 4. The Cuban Atmosphere2002-12-19The fourth episode of Velisti per Caso begins in Cuba, where Syusy and Zoe have finally reunited with Patrizio and the crew after crossing the Atlantic in the port of Santiago de Cuba. Cesare and Ballo from Lunapop are with them, ready to be overwhelmed by the Cuban atmosphere, the dancing, the music. There's also Deborah Andollo, the Cuban champion and world record holder in free diving. And there's the next Velistapercaso to take the helm of Adriatica, Admiral Giobbe Covatta, with his whole family in tow!
- 5. Once Past Panama, It's Immediately the Pacific!2003-01-02The fifth episode of Velisti per Caso sees the first "change" at the helm: in Mexico, Giobbe Covatta comes aboard! Before embarking, Giobbe, who is there on vacation with his family, explores the surroundings a bit on the anthropological trail of the homo turisticus mexicano. In the meantime, Patrizio, Syusy and Zoe stop in Havana where they return after 7 years! Together with the family, we visit the house intended for Commander Che Guevara, which he refused to remain faithful to his revolutionary cause. And we will see where the American who lived, loved and wrote about Cuba the longest, Hemingway, worked and left from to fish. There is also a pleasant surprise from our country: Pat and Syusy are invited to the Italo-Cuban Friendship Festival, where the Casadei Orchestra, led by Mirko, son of Raoul, is there to liven up the evening with Cuban mazurkas and Romagna sauces!
- 6. The Pacific Crossing2003-01-09In the sixth episode of Velisti per Caso we find Syusy waiting for Adriatica and Patrizio in the naturalistic paradise par excellence: the Galapagos. With her is the biologist expert in bio-acoustics Junio Fabrizio Borsani. Her journey continues also in continental Ecuador, a bit towards the Amazon forest and a bit in the Andes, where she meets native populations who involve her in archaic, shamanic and auspicious rites, like the Limpia! In the meantime, Patrizio arrives together with a new character for the 80-person round-the-world trip: David Riondino, a disorganized intellectual, who has decided to celebrate his first 50 years by sailing the Pacific Ocean towards the Marquesas Islands... Will he be able to do it? Patrizio is a bit worried, but happy to no longer be the least experienced on board Adriatica.
- 7. Episode 72003-06-29Adriatica's world tour continues in the Marquesas Islands. We will see Patrizio and Davide Riondino land on the island of Fatu Hiva to admire the Tikis, imposing monoliths that dot the island. Riondino appears very sensitive to the erotic atmosphere that reigns in the islands, so much so that his traveling companions accuse him of thinking of nothing else! Pat would like to indulge in a relaxing massage but ends up in the hands of an overly energetic brute... Landing in Hiva Oa, Pat also tries his hand at the national sport of Polynesia, pirogue: will our hero succeed in climbing onto the treacherous vessel?
- 8. Episode 82003-07-06Adriatica's world tour continues in Polynesia. Together with Syusy, Orso and his wife Orsa we will explore the Tuamotu Islands in search of the ideal location for the film. As you may remember, in the previous episode we left Syusy struggling with the making of a film: the story of a woman fleeing to Polynesia, to experience the myth of a tropical paradise. In Rangiroa, the capital of the Tuamotu, Syusy is enchanted. These are the places of Folco Quilici, the famous documentary maker who made an entire generation daydream. We will meet Bruno, the invaluable Polynesian guide with a histrionic temperament and deadly mimicry (the imitation of spearfishing is unmissable!). Another characteristic of Bruno is not mincing words; in fact, he will spark a lively controversy with a French master about the disasters of colonialism.
- 9. Episode 92003-07-13Pat, Syusy and Zoe, finally reunited, continue their tour of the world in the Samoan Islands, but they are not alone: Adriatica is in fact joined by Va' Pensiero, the boat driven by Gigi and Irene. Why? The reason is that two new guests have arrived: Gerry Scotti and his son Edoardo! The troop is discovering Western Samoa, independent since 1962, which has remained almost intact especially if compared to the part governed by the United States. In Apia, the capital, Gerry with considerable nerve sneaks into the "Aggie Grey", a luxurious hotel that in the past also hosted Marlon Brando. Gerry and Syusy do not hesitate to sneak into the room that the legendary actor occupied during his stays on the island. In the hotel pool, the group also comes across the Samoan rugby team in training.
- 10. Episode 102003-07-20In the last episode we left Pat, Syusy and Zoe in Tonga, on the Vava'u Islands. The three of them dedicate themselves to exploring the island guided by Alfredo Carafa, a doctor from Puglia who moved there 15 years ago and is perfectly integrated into the local reality. Together with him we talk about the health situation on the island, the importation of Western diseases such as diabetes and obesity, but not only that: Alfredo is also an excellent connoisseur of the society and character of the Tongans. The Adriatica crew then moves to Ongo's boat, a local guide who will make Zoe's dream come true: to see whales. In fact, we will witness an exciting tête-à-tête with a porpoise whale and her "little" of one ton!
