Sea Gypsies

The vessel is Infinity, a 120 ft hand-built gypsy boat, crewed by a band of wandering miscreants. The journey, an 8,000 mile pacific crossing, from New Zealand to Patagonia, with a stop in Antarctica. Along the way the crew will battle a 100+ mph hurricane of ice in the Ross Sea, assist the radical environmental group Sea Shepherd in their fight with Japanese whalers, tear every sail they have and unwittingly go further south than any other sailing vessel that year.
