ONLY ON 3: Wilmington man sailing solo across Atlantic thought he would die

As you saw ONLY ON 3 last week, a Wilmington man set sail Thursday morning for a journey that would take him across the Atlantic to Portugal. Greg Frucci's first stop is Bermuda. He has yet to hit the island and has already faced two strong storms.

Thank You all so much!

The images in my head do not seem real right now as if the experience could not have happened...but it did...both peaceful ones and violent ones...I am glad it all happened and turned out the way it has...the positive taken from the voyage is one of added strength, both physical and mental. Thank all of you for being with me in spirit...I felt your positive energy while at sea...Peace to you, Greg

Inspiration and devotion has brought Greg to this point. The support and prayers of all his friends go along with him.
Greg said "if you sit down and do nothing, you go nowhere" Proud of my friend for digging deep and moving along. We are along with him in our hearts and minds. Be safe my friend.

Greg Frucci is an inspiration to middle aged men all over the world! Actually living life, facing his fears and taking chances instead of comfortably sitting on the couch, coasting to the end of life.
GO GREG!!! and God bless you!

I love what Greg is doing! He is doing what we all dream of doing, but we never have the courage to do so...maybe it's time we did.
