Yacht Fiona Cruises To Antarctica 1998 to 1999

Fiona Cruises to Antarctica, (Chapter 3), 1998 to 1999. This was my first cruise to Antarctica, I chose a tough route via the Chilean ‘Canals’- the labyrinth of channels and passages on the west coast of Chile. We endured deep anchorages, gusty winds and icebergs. On the way back, we duplicated the famous voyage of Sir Ernest Shackleton who made passage from Elephant Island to South Georgia in a small boat in 1916 after his ship was crushed in the ice. We managed to anchor briefly in the open roadstead at Tristan da Cunha and get ashore in the dinghy. This voyage attracted the attention of the Cruising Club of America, who were gracious enough the following year to award me the Blue Water medal in recognition.
