1 The Garnell tall ship adventure is an extraordinary example of the ability to break the mold, be able to suddenly change the planned course to get safely at destination, even in the most turbulent conditions On 14 August 1919, the Garnell tall ship leaves Melbourne heading to Bunbury, Western Australia. Soon, the passage proves almost impossible as the traditional routes are struck by extreme weather conditions After two unsuccessful attempts to circumnavigate Australia, first from the north, and then from the south, the commander of Garnell decides to reverse the course and manages to get at destination after 75 days of navigation, almost turning around the world, via Cape Horn and Cape of Good Hope
