In rubber boat from Palermo to New York: polar ice does not stop Sergio Davì
The fascinating adventure of the Palermo continues with success: the commander - on board his Nautilus Explorer - is plowing the ocean waters separating Iceland from Greenland: "Impossible to rest, distractions cannot be allowed"
The fascinating adventure of Sergio Davì from Palermo continues his successful mission: from Palermo to New York on a rubber boat. A company carried out mainly in the most extreme and difficult sections. In recent weeks he has in fact reached the Far Øer Islands, where he was a guest of the Torshavn Marina, and Iceland, where he was affectionately received by the Snarfari Marina of Reykjavik and a couple of representatives of the Peace Run of Iceland.
"The stop in Reykjavik was of fundamental importance - they explain from his staff - because, as planned, here it was necessary to carry out the second pit stop with grounding of the boat, cleaning the hull, checking the engines with oil change and filters. Operation of vital importance before continuing with the second half of the journey. In this regard, special thanks go to Suzuki Iceland who provided for the supply of oil and filters for this operation ".
In fact, in these hours the commander Davì, aboard his Nautilus Explorer, is plowing the ocean waters known as the "Strait of Denmark" that separate Iceland from Greenland.
In the first Greenlandic port, Tasiilaq (or Assamalik) Davì is expected by Robert Peroni, an important Italian explorer who has repeatedly crossed Greenland on foot. After Tasiilaq there will be a stop in the small town of Qaqortoq, south of Greenland, and then on to Canada.
"Solitary sailing is certainly not without its difficulties - they say from its staff -. It is very tiring both from a physical and mental point of view. It is impossible to rest and you cannot give yourself distractions or loss of concentration. A hard test to which Davì seems to respond with excellent results.The technical-logistical support offered by the Ice Rib Challenge partners is also fundamental: we should remember that Davì is completing the task on board of a standard production of the Nuova Jolly Marine Prince 38cc inflatable boat, powered by two outboards Suzuki DF350A dual prop, with just a few adjustments to comfortably tackle sailing at extreme latitudes and with not always easy conditions.Thanks to the tensile structure made by the Toti nautical upholstery and the special seats made by Besenzoni, the captain was able to face hours of difficult navigation, better sheltering from rain and cold ie to the use of Amphibious heat-sealed bags, all equipment and personal effects are sheltered from bad weather and temperature changes.
