What this video covers
Saša Fegić, the only Croatian to circumnavigate the globe under a Croatian flag, completed an 840-day solo voyage from June 2018 to October 2020 aboard a 10-meter sailboat.0:57 He chose the demanding east-to-west route — against the prevailing direction most cruisers take through Panama — rounding Cape of Good Hope in Africa, Cape Leeuwin in Australia, and Cape Horn in Chile.1:29 The most dangerous leg ran from Auckland, New Zealand, to Puerto Williams, Chile, where a rogue wave the height of a skyscraper struck the boat near Cape Horn, the world's largest ship graveyard, knocking it down, flooding the interior, and disabling all electrical systems and communications.2:08 The boat righted itself and they continued.2:40 Fegić crossed the Atlantic three times during the passage and sailed half the voyage with his girlfriend Marina and half with his friend Nebojša.0:57 He documented the journey in a book titled "My Way Around the World," subtitled "How I Sailed the World in 20 Not-So-Simple Steps."3:36 A knockdown near Cape Horn that floods all electrics can still be survived if the hull rights itself.2:25
