There is no one to call for help, no escape, we must fix it ourselves. After hundreds of miles of sailing in the remote wilderness things begin to go wrong. Lines break under stress and our engine fails in a tight situation. We bring you onboard to go shorthanded sailing in FPV (First Person View) as we mount headcams and bodycams to capture the truth about sailing in Patagonia. This epic and real footage is what a true bucket list adventure looks like.
