RACING WITH THE DEVIL

In January 2007 Francesco did his first attempt to cross the Atlantic on a light and fast Tornado catamaran. After 17 days, 12 of which without food, water and instruments, Francesco had sailed for 2000 miles but he was exhausted and had to give up his attempt and ask for assistance. The vessel Norman Lady picked up Francesco and his catamaran just 800 miles from Guadeloupe and still on the correct route. Here is the story of what happened in those 17 days alone in the middle of the Ocean.
