The Peace Run joins the Rib Challenge from Reykjavik to Tasilaq (Greenland). Captain Sergio Davi is travelling with his 11.2 metre Rib boat - solo - from his native Palermo all the way to New York City.

We met with Captain Davi on his arrival in Iceland after a long and hard journey from Faroe Islands. He had been at sea for 22 hours straight with no sleep which is usual for him since he is doing this trip solo - I don´t know anybody who would even consider that. But he is no ordinary man - he is Sicilian, a true lover of the high seas and a really good captain. ´He does not call everything his grandmother´ (Icelandic phrase) - no explanation needed!

Besides him challenging himself with this great and dangerous endevour, he is also collecting water samples from the ocean where he travels through between Palermo to New York City. These samples will then be tested in Italy to see how much plastic particles are in the ocean in each location.

Captain Sergio Davi is a great Peace run supporter - as is his wife, who helps to organize the Run in Palermo each year!
