Darwin's Passage's Exploration of South America
By Bluewater on March 22, 2008 - 10:53pm
After sailing together for almost 3 years Amanda and Barry Glickman departed Canada in 2000 to pursue their dream of exploring Chile's southern latitudes aboard their vessel, Darwin's Passage. Their voyage took them from the Caribbean, through Panama, out to Easter Island and Juan Fernandez and finally into the Chilean channels. Here they explored the deep, ice filled fjords of southern Chile and Tierra del Fuego and the isolated anchorages. They lived in the Beagle Channels for almost 2 years, just 30 miles north of the infamous Cape Horn. The temptation being too great, they eventually made the trip across Drake's Passage to explore the hostile South Shetland Islands of the Antarctic Archipelago.
In 2005, they started to make their way north again, stopping at Isla de los Estados and the Falkland Islands along the way. They closed the loop in March of 2007, returning to Canada to start new adventures aboard Papa Rumba.
Amanda and Barry will provide an overview of their voyage and discuss why they chose Darwin's Passage for this voyage, how she was prepared for high latitude sailing, how they handled heavy weather, and what unexpected adventures they accounted along the way.
