Giovanni Soldini, the italian famous solo sailor, crossed yesterday the finish line of The Artemis Transat race in Marblehead, USA. On a crisp, clear early morning with a biting 18-20 knot north-westerly breeze, Soldini and his one year-old Proto Class40, Telecom Italia, completed the North Atlantic crossing in 16 days 22 hours and 11 minutes, having lead the 11 boats in the fleet since passing Lizard Point on the south coast of England during the first night of the race thanks to his great experience and tactical analysis.
The Artemis Transat is the third victory for Soldini’s one year-old, Guillaume Verdier-designed Class40, Telecom Italia, after first place in the double-handed Transat Jacques Vabre in November 2007 and the Grand Prix Petit Navire in France earlier this year.

This monday, as every year on Memorial Day, thousands of people have gathered at Ala Moana Beach, Hawaii, to honor and pray for those who sacrificed their lives in war and natural disasters, for loved ones who have passed away and to aim for a harmonious and peaceful future. Thousands of "japanese lanterns" were released on the water during what is known as "Buddhist Floating Lantern Ceremony", even if the organizers loves to say:“It’s not a Hawaiian thing or a Japanese thing. It’s not a Buddhist thing. It’s a ‘Human Thing’”
