A Dinghy for the Drake
Lots of interest brewing about our October expedition, with most people not quite getting the idea. To dispel some of the confusion…
- Yes, it’s a private, self-funded expedition whose primary goal is that we have a holiday…doing some research along the way. Â Isn’t that how everybody relaxes?
- Yes, we really are going to be as close to carbon-neutral as you can get for flying half way around the world – we are pulling sleds with wind and man-power (and woman power).
- Yes, we will be camping. Â Refer to my comments about how everyone relaxes.
- No, we are not going on a cruise ship – we are using the wind and taking a yacht down to the ice.
For your interest and edification, here is some info about the Golden Fleece, the yacht we will be using.
