The Totorore Voyage
by Gerry Clark, 374pp limp, Homelands Publications, Kemp Road, Kerikeri, 2000, Limp RRP$34.95. Gerry Clark was famed for his remarkable small boat voyages in Antarctic seas. Sailing in the Southern Ocean, he recorded the lives of birds and animals there, reporting in National Geographic, and scientifically. While supporting an expedition to the subantarctic Antipodes Islands in June 1999, Gerry Clarke and his crew, Roger Sales, lost their lives when "Totorore’ was wrecked on the southern coast of the island. The Clarke family has republished this story of the earlier adventures of the "Totorore’ in which Gerry Clarke circumnavigated the Antarctic continent over three-and-a-half years from 1983. Much of it is about the wildlife he studied at sea and on their southern roosts. It still reads as an extraordinary adventure.
