Cape Horn and Cape of Good Hope, Patagonia and Cape Town, Antraktida and Tierra del Fuego - all these charming names have been known to me since the age of 7, when I read Jules Verne. The fact that the Drake Strait is the most dangerous place for seafarers on the planet will be prompted by Google.
To go there alone, crossing himself and at random - to put it mildly, it is not reasonable. Find an experienced crew on this route, which you can join - compare trips to the moon. Therefore, when I heard about the opportunity to enter the expedition with an experienced team, the organizers from the headquarters of Fyodor Konyukhov, on a sailing racing yacht on the route Ushuaia - Cape Town, I did not hesitate!
Spending a month in the ocean on the way from Argentina to Africa, the opportunity to gain experience from reputable sailors and spend working days for a manual winch as well as nights in a hammock and not in the cabin - I was attracted like a magnet.
The reptile and video cameras are all that I took with me on the road.
One of the five in the world of yachts Grand Mistral is made of carbon fiber, however, as her mast and boom.
Its impressive length is 80 feet and it is almost 25 meters. At the same time, it is able to reach speeds of up to 30 knots ... But not all the Shrovetide cat has - there is no autopilot, all are mechanical winches, suspended beds and round-the-clock watches. But did anyone think of abandoning fishing just because they had to sleep in a tent and because the soul would not be !?
