A sailor friend from Canada, one Jud (whom a number of us here remember), came across this.

An amazing thing to listen to.

Good podcast yesterday on CNC radio about sailors who sail in the Southern Ocean - a friend of a friend was on it. He's attempted twice solo nonstop singlehanded round the world voyages...he's nuts, but oh so calm.
