ESCAPE To The Southern Ocean - The Start Of A 1000 Mile Offshore Sailing Adventure [Ep. 98]

We make final preparations and set sail after repairs in Uruguay in a potentially dangerous but fast weather window, but will the Armada allow us to leave on a non-stop journey to Patagonia? Find out as we finally go sailing toward our goal of rounding Cape Horn to starboard and sailing the Southern Ocean and Chilean Patagonia.

About Us:

We are two young racing sailors that decided to leave life on land and accomplish our goals of sailing around the world and learning about and experiencing different cultures. Originally from the Great Lakes, we left Newport Rhode Island in July of 2019 after refitting our boat DIY style. We then sailed to Maine, and from there down the East Coast of the USA, around Cape Hatteras, to the Bahamas, Back to Miami, and then to the Virgin Islands.

From there we headed south to Grenada to escape hurricane season, then back up to St. Maarten where we launched our first Atlantic Crossing to Horta, Azores. We made a quick trip back to the USA in July of ’21 to defend our Chicago – Mackinac Race overall title, then it was back to cruising the Canaries, where we launched for our second Transatlantic voyage, sailing to Brazil in South America and on to Uruguay.

Our goal is to sail around the world via Cape Horn, and that is where we are headed now. Capturing footage to share this epic adventure with you as we round the horn and venture into the canals and fjords of Patagonia, Chile.
