Throwing off the dock lines in Hawaii and leaving everything familiar behind, three young inexperienced sailors headed out into the blue aboard “Lille Dansker,” a beautiful old wooden gaff-rigged ketch. Bound for an unknown destination “South,” somewhere/anywhere in the South Pacific, the sailors face challenging and life-changing encounters with the natural world. After landfall in Bora Bora, they voyage through French Polynesia, working and living with islanders. In the Tuamotu Archipelago the men experience life-threatening diving among the sharks. The returning sailors approach the future with a bright outlook and a new appreciation for teamwork and the natural world. Today's adventurers will recognize the wanderlust of Lille Dankser's crew but this was a time when navigation was “by guess and by god” and every human interaction was new, fresh and memorable. Clay Hutchinson has brought that world back to us through his writing, his photographs and art. Climb aboard “Lille Dansker,” a little ship headed for Somewhere South!
