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
