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

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.

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.
