\"Any vessel venturing into the deep south must be self-sufficient. One of the biggest dangers on any ocean crossing is crew health. Ideally, we'd have taken a doctor but our budget didn't stretch that far so we settled for Pascale, a volunteer French vet.\

Humans are just another animal, he explained. I took solace in not being pregnant and hoped his euthanasia skills wouldn't be tested.\"\
