#36 | Off Watch – From Whitbread races to ice adventures with Skip Novak

This week we take a wonderful journey back to the Whitbread years, and also to some extremely cold climates with legend of The Ocean Race Skip Novak. Skip competed in four editions of the Whitbread Round the World Race before deciding to follow his passion for exploration and adventure at high latitudes with his company Pelagic Expeditions. We relive Skip’s near-death experience aboard Drum with rock star Simon Le Bon, learn how sailing can bring people together across political and social divides, and hear about exploring polar environments affected by climate change.
