About the Ushuaia, Argentina to Cape Town, South Africa Itinerary
This is the ultimate Cape to Cape voyage. The voyage starts in the Argentinian city Ushuaia, and we will sail through the Beagle Channel to open sea. During this ocean voyage to Cape Town we will visit the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia and Tristan da Cunha, the most remote island in the world. We will set course across the Atlantic Ocean and sail every day. The Southern Ocean is known for its tumultous character, where names as "Roaring Fourties", "Furious Fifties" and "Screaming Sixties" refer to the challanges in the souther latitudes. Between the different stops there will be sailing for around 10 days, in which there is time to experience the sailing life, including watch keeping, navigating and sail handling.
