Set sail with Karina McQueen and Gary Peacock as they share the somewhat unexpected journey that took them far beyond their original dream of reaching New Zealand and deep into the wild beauty of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. What began as a single sailing season in Chile stretched into 6 ½ years aboard Sea Rover II, where each day balanced challenge with breathtaking reward.
Don’t miss this captivating account of resilience, discovery, and the awe-inspiring landscapes at the bottom of the world.
Presenters
BCA members Karina McQueen and Gary Peacock set sail from Vancouver aboard Sea Rover II in 2014. For the next three years, they explored the Sea of Cortez and the Mexican Riviera before making their way to Valdivia, Chile via the Galapagos and Easter Island in 2018. Over the following 6½ years, they cruised extensively along the Chilean coast, before sailing Sea Rover II back to Mexico, where she is currently in Chiapas.
