Almost a home away from home, with all the adventure, and none of the risk. Who could ask for more? I especially appreciate the high level of expertise you bring to every aspect of boatmanship and the actual sailing itself. Every video is an engaging tutorial. I can’t believe it has been five years since you set out! Time flies when you get #thatfeeling.

I have been following the journey of others in the South as in the Northern Passage.
You are professional sailors taking on a massive challenge sailing Cape Horn East to West.in the Southern Hemisphere Winter. As an amateur sailor this is a learning experience to me. Thank you!

I’m 68 and chilean and Patagonia has been my backyard since I was a kid , so you can imagine how I have enjoyed your videos.
You have a great sailboat also.
We are going in the opposite direction, sold my boat in Chile and bought a small 30 footer in Lake Michigan, just came back from 40 day of freshwater, tee shirt and bathing suit sailing.
Anything you may need from this end of the world , just contact me.
Regards

I have been following sailors like you for a few years at both ends in South America and the Inside Passage.

Having seen how brutal and shifty weather conditions are in the Southern South, I knew I was in for some serious learning when I saw you navigating East to West and during the Winter. Appreciate your sharing your wisdom. Stay safe.
