Wasn't there just an aricle in the last six months or so go in one of the
mags about this fellow? Was it Cruising World (which I don't normally read,
but I think picked up becuase of my armchair intereset in Things Artic.

(People think its because I live in Fargo, N.D., which many believe is on
the wrong side of the artic circle, but it's a reading habit I picked up to
pass away steamy Louisiana nights a long time ago).

Bezerk or Berzerker was the boat, and I clear remember the picture of the
fellow jumping in for a quick
swim among the growlers.

Cheers Max,

I think you mean the Antarctic Circle, since the adventure seemed to have
reached its climax close to Argentina.
I don't know of any books about that yet.

Hey ,
First of all I am not a sailor , however about two years ago I saw a
program
about a young Scandinavian man who sailed a small boat , I think it was
called the berzerk or something similar from Scandinavia across the
atlantic
with the intention of reaching the arctic circle . The program was a
video
diary he kept along the way . He stopped off in Argentina and met a guy
called David (didnt give his full name) who pursuaded him to let him
accompany him on his adventure . Eventually they reached the arctic
circle
,
however the boat was capsised in a storm and fill with water , however
they
managed to right it again . At this point david had had enough and
flagged
down a large passenger ship and agreeded to pay his way back to
argentina
by
working in the kitchen . It mentioned he was going to write a book about
his
experience , does anyone know of such a book or more details about this
adventure ? It was the most amazing program I have ever seen and I hope
they've made a dvd of it as I think it was part of a series on the bbc .
Cheers ,
Max
