From the Cruising World (USA) / February 2016 print issue
"Southern Ocean, Family Style" - Story & Photos by Somira Sao
A story I wrote in 2013 (just after Pearl's birth) that was published in the February 2016 issue of Cruising World (USA) is now available to read online: Southern Ocean, Family Style
The piece documents a 30-day non-stop family passage we made aboard Anasazi Girl in the Southern Ocean in April 2012 from the Cape of Good Hope (Simons Town), South Africa to Fremantle, Western Australia . At that time, Tormentina and Raivo were ages 3 and 1.
The type of sailing you experience at this latitude is without a doubt some of the most difficult and challenging you can take on. It takes a certain level of sailing experience, risk management skill, the right kind of boat, crew & conditions, as well as a very high mental & physical threshold for discomfort.
Tough is tough, but when the sailing here is good, it's really damn good. It's that feeling you ride long after the voyage is over.
