One trip I have always wanted to do is a classic one: Sailing around Cape Horn. I had thought of going from East to West, but after a bit of research decided on a trip from Punta Arenas through the Staits of Magellen and around the Isla de Hornos from West to East.
It looks like a simple little rock, one that you might see off the coast of Maine, or Britainny. The difference is that it is at the end of the world and has for centuries represented the pinnacle of a sailing challenge.
The date is set for March – April 2008. The boat will be skippered by a colleague from the NYYC. And I will be looking forward to telling you more as the planning continues.
