December 25th 2018: Xmas from the subs

I've made it back from the Subantarctic in one piece, but still have a head filled with adventure in the deepest south. To describe this journey as mind-blowing is an understatement. The voyage, the wildlife, the islands, the Southern Ocean and passengers, experts and crew mates made this experience incredible.

It is Xmas today, so I won't regale you with stories from my adventures right now, but instead I'll give you a sneak peek into some of the stories I will be fleshing out in the coming weeks alongside profiles of some incredibly inspirational characters I met along the way.

For now, spend some time with family and friends and make sure you get some time in the water. I'd personally like to wish you all a happy Christmas and New Year and thank each and every one of you for being alongside us in our Box of Light journey.

See you at the beach ... Derek

PS Our gallery is closed until the New Year now (we're going camping), but if you do want to visit for any reason then feel free to make an appointment: derek@boxoflight.com Arohanui.
