A new challenge for Armenian writer and adventurer Zori Balayan started
today at the America's Cup Port. Leading a crew of 7 sailors, he will
sail the 73" boat Armenia from Valencia to Los Angeles, California.
Representatives of the Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs, as well
as religious authorities and part of Armenian community living in
Valencia came to farewell Balayan and his crew.
Zori Balayan (Stepanakert, 1935) is an Armenian novelist, journalist,
sports-doctor, traveler and sports expert. From 1971 to 1973 he crossed
the Kamchatka and Chokotskaya tundras with dog-sledges, traveling as
far as the North Sea. This trip was narrated in his book Blue roads
(1975).
We wish them the best of luck on their journey and a safe crossing
of Cape Horn!
