17 October 2009 - Danilo Salsi did an excellent job helming his Swan 90 DSK-Pioneeer Investments at the starting line positioned inside the Malta Grand Harbour; a very impressive place with thousand of people looking from the antique points of view of Senglea and Vittoriosa cities and a very impressive fleet including the 100' Leopard and the smallest STP65 Luna Rossa, skippered by the recent winner of the VOR, Torben Grael. According with the weather forecast we sailed comfortably in 8-10 knot of wind and a sunny afternoon with a clear sky. Sicily appeared in front of us as the Maltese Archipelago was still visible in our back. "Great day of sailing!" - Danilo says - before leaving the helm to Alberto Bolzan and going down below to have some rest before nightfall. Now the wind is increasing to 16-18 knot and rotating, pushing the yacht at more than 13 knots of boat speed. Sicily is on our beam and all the crew is really happy to be here!!

On board DSK: Lat 36°36'95 Long 15°07' 95 close to Capo Passero.
