Peder Krogh, one of two crew who sailed the boat Sorgenfri around the world in the early 1990s, describes the four-year voyage and a recent return visit to the vessel in Cuba.Watch Departing Norway in 1990 with no GPS — relying on a dying satellite navigator and sextant learned from books underway — the crew made their first emergency stop in Sandefjord after rough weather in Trollsfjord.8:18 They sailed south through the Bay of Biscay, down South America, and into Antarctic waters, where they carried no radar, no proper charts, and no adequate cold-weather gear, yet encountered few serious problems. Cape Horn was different: a severe blow drove them toward shore and caused significant damage.6:32 The Pacific leg took a year from Chile to the Philippines via Micronesia and Pitcairn Island, navigating partly by smell when sextant fixes failed to locate a Pacific island.7:32 The return route included Greenland.9:13 Krogh also describes his father's boat Gyda, a twin-50-hp, swing-keel aluminum design that outran pirates twice off the Brazilian coast.13:04 The Cuba revisit, roughly 25 years after the original passage, found the coastline's underwater marine life largely unchanged but the country's economy visibly worse.16:24 Krogh founded the cruising portal sorgenfri.com before Facebook existed as an early resource for long-distance sailors.19:53 His core advice: cast off without waiting for perfect conditions.25:51
