EP 72 Sailing Cape Horn to Cape Town: A Perilous Passage

We leave the Cape Horn area (Puerto Williams) and sail across the South Atlantic to Cape Town, South Africa. We are surprised by unexpected ice berg[s] that could have resulted in a Titanic ending.... Pete shares some invaluable insights on the difference between racing sailors and cruising sailors. We also discuss sail choices, reefing techniques, energy management, survival equipment, etc. For those interested in knowing more about how the boat was prepared for this 9000 NM passage into the Southern Ocean, Pete has a podcast you can listen to/watch at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4SyyKLJe3U&t=44s
