Skip Novak on Southern Ocean Sailing

Skip and the crew of Pelagic Australis discuss Southern Ocean Sailing on a voyage to South Georgia

[@unclexeres]

Two of everything and being a good engineer, wise words.

Great video Skip! One of my first memories is being in a sailing boat comming back to Ushuaia and it was probably yours!

[@msf60khz]

Very interesting, especially the idea of raising the keel and getting close to shore ready for a blow. That's what we do in our cruising dinghies in the UK!! An inspirational video.

That last image is awesome

Must be willing to take risks, because if you dont you will never go anywhere or do anything.... ~Skip Novac

I hope in the near future to be able to realize my dream of sailing on your boat

[@PatricioOta]

A bit late, but welcome to Isla Georgias del Sur, Argentina.

What a life sailing these remote places and having an intimate knowledge of local conditions. That is the love of the sport.

[@richardhaendel61]

The vessel does not have an interior steering wheel. It would help in poor weather.

I admire people who sail in cold climates. I get cold easy, don't like cold weather and get sea sickness. 65 degrees F, Sunny and Dry with a 5mph breeze is my kind of weather. I've read Shackletons voyage from Elephant Island to South Georgia Island in a tiny cramped boat and think what tough characters those men were. Compare them to the Protesters Demonstrators of today.

you should tell the story about Jarli

[@grahamwildman3133]

Would love a trip with you

[@philipsiow427]

Skip, do you have some kind of a program where enthusiastic sailors can join your boat for short periods of time on some expedition?

[@justarandomguy3071]

If you pay

[@rykehuss3435]

Yes he does. Google Pelagic Expeditions.

[@ropersix]

The Southern Ocean is the Everest of sailing.

[@jimbojims]

Timothy Roper Nah, more like the K2 of sailing Everest is easy shit

[@donaldvanvliet9039]

It's also like the olympics for curling.

[@germantitov9832]

I'm ready to go down on a boat like that if anyone interested
