"Madam Secretary has anchored America's commitment to Africa. She has again demonstrated her personal fortitude to reverse the spread of AIDS", said American rower Victor Mooney.

As US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton ends her Seven Nation African tour in Cape Verde, an archipelago off the coast of West Africa, a Queens, New York man will leave from here and head across the Atlantic Ocean to New York's Brooklyn Bridge beginning on World AIDS Day, December 1, 2009.

In his third attempt at this feat, his
goal is clear: to encourage HIV/AIDS testing, raise money for the procurement of AIDS medicine and plant trees worldwide. "Renewable energy is a must if we are going to save the planet. My supply of energy on the boat comes totally from the sun and wind", Mooney said. Southwest Windpower is providing Mooney with an Air Breeze Marine turbine for the rowboat.

Martin Hardy, of Composite Yacht based in Maryland and his team are currently helping Victor Mooney (43) for the second time. They are preparing his donated boat to make it sea worthy.
