The adventure has melted into memory, but the spectacle of the ice remains. A final reflection on a journey that reopened every closed door in my mind.
Drake Passage – Day 1: The Long Way Back
Lurching through five-meter swells as the Antarctic dream fades into a 6/10 Drake. A day of flying coffee, career dilemmas, and the rough reality of the sea.
Drake Passage – Day 2: The Drake Shake
Surviving the Furious Fifties where there is no law and no God. A day of flying plates, drunken walks, and the steel violence of the most powerful sea on Earth.
