Bipolar Cruising: The Adventures of Mina 2 from the Arctic to the Antarctic: Tim Barker

Mina 2 is one of the few amateur yachts to have sailed both into the Arctic Circle and down to Antarctica. Having crossed 250 degrees of latitude in his Oyster 485, Tim Barker will be recounting not only the hurricane force storms and dangerous encounters with ice in the high latitudes, but also some of the more unusual, less visited (and hotter) places he has sailed to in between.

The talk will be illustrated with photographs of the spectacular scenary and wildlife encountered on the way.
