Xavier Doerr and his Mini Transat yacht are off Broome, and we speak with him about Cape York and the challenges of the top end before he gets set for the greatest challenge of all... the mighty Southern Ocean.

A rollicking tale that commands your attention. Come and laugh with Xavier, Mark, John and of course, Wilson.
