We left Stanley in the Falkland Islands just after Christmas in December 2019 and sailed across 1200nm of wild Southern Ocean to drop our anchor on the shores of the remote South Sandwich Islands, which lie within the Antarctic Convergence Zone. Our first stop was Saunders Island. From here we sailed South to Bellingshausen and Southern Thule, where we reached our most southerly point at 59˚S. Heading North again we stopped at Candlemas Island and admired the hostile Zavodovski Island and its rugged cliff shore line.
The time flew by and we could have easily stayed much, much longer! But with bad weather on its way we hoisted the sails and set course for South Georgia. Watch Part II of this expedition to find out more! :)

➔ THE ADVENTURE SPIRIT
“I was footloose and fancy free and had a blind ambition for wild places by land and by sea - living out of a sea bag, ready for any adventure at a moment's notice.”
- Skip Novak (from the foreword of “Mischief goes South” by Bill Tillman)
