Description
Paddy Macklin's odyssey in the Southern Ocean is a testament to human endurance and the power of nature. In 2014, he embarked on a solo, single-handed sailing journey around the world in the smallest boat possible, "Tessa", with the aim of completing the journey without stopping.
Despite the challenges, Paddy's extraordinary little craft withstood the fury of the Southern Ocean, including being knocked down several times and completely rolled twice. The damage forced him to break his journey in New Zealand, where he was able to communicate with family back in England twice a week, providing a unique insight into his experiences.
This diary, interspersed with the Captain's log, offers a personal glimpse into Paddy's journey, revealing his terror in the face of gigantic seas, his joy at making friends with dolphins, birds, and whales, and his determination to remain sane during an odyssey that few would dare to undertake.
