Voyaging the Pacific In Search of the South

by Miles Hordern

In 1997, Miles Hordern sailed alone in a 28-foot sloop across the Southern Ocean from New Zealand to Patagonia and back - a voyage of 13,000 nautical miles across the largest uninterrupted stretch of water on earth, a region of icebergs, gales and high seas. Six weeks after setting out from New Zealand he made landfall on the coast of Chile and, after a chance meeting, embarked on a 1000-mile cruise southwards to survey the channels and fjords of Patagonia, one of the last unchartered areas in the world. From Chile he sailed north on the Peru current, then west through the tropics on the return passage to New Zealand.
