For 49 years, sailors have crossed the treacherous bass strait, meeting the uninterrupted Southern Ocean swell on the wild west coast of Tasmania. They sail below 40 degrees south into the roaring forties, where nothing but the world’s largest and icy cold waters separates these souls from Antarctica. This is our journey into the Southern Ocean as part of the Melbourne to Hobart Westcoaster.
