I was doing a pathetically slow speed of about 1.3 knots, and they were doing only marginally less pathetic speed of about 1.4: it was like two snails in a mating dance.
J'allais à une vitesse pathétique, environ 1,3 noeuds, et eux avançaient un tout petit peu moins lentement, à 1,4 noeuds. C'était comme la danse nuptiale de deux escargots.
