Portuguese term or phrase: capeando
O tempo ruim chegou, e nos próximos três dias que se sucederam as condições do mar gradativamente foram piorando, até que na sexta-feira 13, o mar atingiu seu auge, com ondas de 7 m e ventos com rajadas de mais de 80 km/h. Neste dia apenas o nosso barco trabalhou, enquanto o “Maria” e o “Alto Mar IV” ficaram ****capeando****, ou seja, navegando com perícia no meio das ondas a fim de resistir às condições adversas de tempo.
