In June 2013, Dino Silva set sail from Angra do Heroísmo, in the Azores, aboard his sailboat called "Lua", bound for Iceland. The planned voyage was a crossing of the North Atlantic that promised to be challenging.
Seven days after departure, the situation became critical. Dino lost his rudder, which meant he had no control over the direction of the boat. To make matters worse, he was sailing in the wrong direction, moving away from his destination.
The sailboat "Lua" was lost between Iceland and Greenland, in a remote area of the North Atlantic. The conditions in that region would have been extremely harsh, with icy waters and unpredictable weather.
The story, which was illustrated, documents a harrowing rescue that followed this emergency situation at sea. The article details all the circumstances surrounding this odyssey and the effort to bring Dino Silva back to safety.
