This gallery features a year of Gayle Force travels, with Captain Scott at the helm.
Comments and questions are always welcome.
On the journey to Antarctica, Captain Scott navigated Gayle Force from southern Florida through the Panama Canal -- and then through relentless wind and sea conditions in the southern Pacific, the "Roaring 40s" and the Drake passage. It was a test that Gayle Force passed with flying colors. And it was also an adventure, with onboard guests including an ice pilot AND a naturalist. The weather-determined route took them through Brown Bluff, Deception Island, Penguin Island and Port Lockroy. And the party was rewarded with an aboundance of wildlife sightings, including whales and seals and hundreds of penguins.

Scott's career as a captain includes power and sailing vessels on voyages comprising the eastern and western coasts of the US mainland and the inter-Hawaiian Islands, along with numerous Gulf of Alaska crossings and extensive experience on the Puget Sound as well as travel through the Inside Passage and coastal British Columbia. Additional voyages range from Antarctica to the Galapagos Islands, including the western coasts of Mexico and South America, and many trips through the Panama Canal -- in addition to Bermuda, Bahamas, leeward and windward Caribbean, Costa Rica, Newfoundland, and offshore Nova Scotia.
And beyond... with more on the horizon.
