Meticulous. That is the word that is most often used to describe the years of preparation for this unique circumnavigation on a 24m motorboat.
ASTRA was not any ordinary motorboat, yet she still required substantial work to prepare her for the trip while considering every aspect of redundancy that might be needed to take on the Southern Oceans. Every risk was considered from every aspect and each potential eventuality was considered and properly planned for. While the voyage had its challenges, generally most were anticipated. However, those that needed quick thinking or a bit of creative thinking probably created some of the best learning experiences.
Anyone serious about crossing an ocean, long distance passage-making or interested in the adventures that are possible on a well equipped motor or explorer boat will appreciate this well documented journey from initial idea to completion.
