US rower Victor Mooney is making a stop in Samana as part of his 5,000-mile solo Trans-Atlantic row. He is rowing from the coast of Africa to New York to increase awareness of AIDS.
Mooney arrived in Samana yesterday, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 aboard his 24-foot boat, The Spirit of Malabo. He had just completed 3,490 miles since his departure from Maspolamas in the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa on 19 February 2014. During his short stay in the Dominican Republic he will rest, replenish supplies and campaign for AIDS awareness before trying to reach the mainland United States.
