La \u00eenceput mergea cu caiacul pe lacurile din Bucure\u015fti, iar vacan\u0163ele cu p\u0103rin\u0163ii \u015fi le petrecea \u00een Delt\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 de mic. Au trecut mul\u0163i ani de atunci, \u00eens\u0103 marea \u00eenc\u0103-l cheam\u0103 la ea.<\/p>\n
\n\u201e\u00cenc\u0103 de acum mai bine de 20 de ani, de pe vremea c\u00e2nd eram vicepre\u015fedinte \u00eentr-o banc\u0103, fugeam \u00een weekend \u00een Delt\u0103, la pescuit. Pe atunci mi-am cump\u0103rat o b\u0103rcu\u0163\u0103 cu motor. Am str\u0103b\u0103tut apoi toate cotloanele Deltei ani la r\u00e2nd cu harta \u015fi busola \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103. La vremea aceea nu existau GPS-uri\u201c, povestea el anterior despre cum s-a consolidat rela\u0163ia lui cu apa \u015fi cum a devenit navigator de voca\u0163ie.<\/p>\n
\nTot cam atunci \u2013 acum circa dou\u0103 decenii \u2013 \u00een vacan\u0163ele la mare \u00een Grecia a \u00eenceput s\u0103 \u00eenchirieze c\u00e2te un catamaran cu vele. Prin 2008, odat\u0103 cu achizi\u0163ia unei ambarca\u0163iuni mai mari, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 ias\u0103 pe mare din ce \u00een ce mai des, s\u0103 fac\u0103 motoring. Era o perioad\u0103 c\u00e2nd nu mul\u0163i prinseser\u0103 gustul sailingului \u015fi al regatelor care acum aduc \u00een weekendurile de var\u0103 c\u00e2teva sute de oameni pe litoralul rom\u00e2nesc pentru a se lua la \u00eentrecere cu al\u0163i pasiona\u0163i \u015fi pentru a-\u015fi testa limitele.<\/p>\n
\n\u00cen aceast\u0103 aventur\u0103 Mihai Marcu a reu\u015fit s\u0103 atrag\u0103 \u015fi prieteni \u015fi cunoscu\u0163i. \u015ei nu \u00een ultimul r\u00e2nd l-a convertit la aceast\u0103 \u201creligie\u201d \u015fi pe fiul s\u0103u, cu care merge an de an \u00eentr-o expedi\u0163ie.<\/p>\n
\nSpunea anterior c\u0103 nimic nu se compar\u0103 cu senza\u0163ia pe care o ai atunci c\u00e2nd opre\u015fti motorul \u015fi tot ce auzi este v\u00e2ntul \u00een velele pline \u015fi zgomotul valurilor care se sparg de barc\u0103. Muzica preferat\u0103 a pasiona\u0163ilor de mare. Mai mult, recunoa\u015fte c\u0103 \u00eei place s\u0103 navigheze \u015fi pe vreme care \u00eel provoac\u0103. Nu caut\u0103 neap\u0103rat furtuna, dar se bucur\u0103 c\u00e2nd are ocazia s\u0103 \u00ee\u015fi testeze limitele.<\/p>\n
\n\u201eMarea fie te \u00eencarc\u0103 cu energie \u015fi \u00ee\u0163i poten\u0163eaz\u0103 tot ceea ce ai mai bun \u00een tine ca om, fie te poate distruge dac\u0103 nu \u015ftii s\u0103 o respec\u0163i.\u201c De la pasiune la business au fost doar c\u00e2\u0163iva pa\u015fi. \u201eAm spus-o de at\u00e2tea ori, pasiunea mea este familia \u015fi apoi vin pescuitul, sailingul, antreprenoriatul\u201c, afirma el anterior.<\/p>\n
