This 26-day journey through history sails from Lyttelton, New Zealand to Hobart, Australia via the Historic Huts of the Ross Sea. You will sail in the company of special guest Adrian Raeside, author, cartoonist and explorer’s grandson. Adrian is writing a book about his grandfather, a member of Scott’s ill-fated expedition to the South Pole, to commemorate its 100th anniversary. En route, he will read excerpts from his grandfather’s journals and show pictures of the expedition that haven’t been seen in a century!
