A voyage to Patagonia

John and Sue Chadwick set off in 2016 on a sailing adventure. “We weren’t pitchpoled, dismasted, attacked by pirates or capsized” John says but the story of their adventure is as gripping as any you’ll hear. Leaving the Tamar River in 2016 in Dandelion, a Pan Oceanic 46, they sailed south to Spain, Portugal, Medeira, the Cape Verdes and then across the Atlantic to Brazil. In 2017 they cruised Brazil and the remote and tortuous rivers of Salvador. They pressed on to Uruguay and into the River Plate and put into Buenos Aires for storm repairs. 2018 saw them cruise further south to Argentina, Patagonia and to anchor in Bahia Buen Suceso in Tierra del Fuego. It was here they lost their kedge anchor - just like Captain Cook. Then on to the Beagle Channel, Cape Horn and the Falklands. There then followed a passage north to the Caribbean and back across the Atlantic returning to their Tamar mooring on 1st. September 2019.
