I am in Buenos Aeries on my way to Ushuaia for a month long sailing and kayaking trip in Antarctica. 9 of us – 2 sailing crew and 7 kayakers – will sail across the notoriously rough Drake Passage to the Antarctic peninsula. During the 4-5 day journey, we’ll take it in turns to be on watch on the yacht. Once there, we will have around 2 weeks to sea kayak alongside ice cliffs and rocky spires, weaving between ice bergs, paddling alongside whales, penguins and seals. The yacht, Spirit of Sydney, has a blog that we will be updating every so often with our news. Check it out at http://www.spiritofsydney.co/blog/
