The vessel is Infinity, a 120 foot, hand-built gypsy sailboat, crewed by a band of miscreants. The journey, an 8,000 mile Pacific crossing, from New Zealand to Patagonia, with a stop in Antarctica. Unlike all the other boats heading to Antarctica, Infinity is no well-financed, ice-reinforced super yacht crewed by well-paid professional sailors; rather, Infinity lives in the moment and sails on a whim, without permission or insurance of any kind.
