Estimados miembros de la Cofradia
Los dias 14 y 15 de setiembre se llevo a cabo en Oporto una reunion de miembros de la cofradia europea de vela presidido por su Gran Maestre Don Francisco Quiroga y secundado por la presencia de Carlo Rolandi cofrade de Italia, Pablo Leiro cofrade por Paraguay y Guilherme Guimeraens, cofrade del Capitulo de Porto, y Luis Bolibar del Capitulo de Galicia.
Dichos días sirvieron como un encuentro de familiarizacion de los cofrades de tan distintos y lejanos países anticipando lo que será la ceremonia de investidura de marzo 2014 en Santiago de Compostela, ceremonia en la que se procedera a la investidura de los nuevos cofrades.
Teniendo como guía al cofrade.Guilherme Guimeraens de oporto, los cofrades pudieron recorrer y apreciar las distintas bellezas que la ciudad de Oporto brinda a sus visitantes habiendo visitado el Club Portuense, la Librería Leao y la casa donde nació el infante Don Enrique el Navegante. También el centro de la ciudad, la marina de Oporto y los Clubes Náuticos asentados en ella todo esto dentro de un ambiente de camaraderia y servicios de primer nivel donde fue posible degustar las delicias culinarias de Portugal a traves de sus mas variados y cálidos restaurantes.
La jornada fue propicia también para discutir la problemática de la vela en Iberoamerica y los futuros proyectos para afianzar aun mas a la Cofradia como faro de los navegantes en esta parte del mundo.
