info on Finnish Sailor in \'Extreme Lives" TV seri

Does anyone have any further information on a Finnish Sailor who was featured in one of the "Extreme Lives" series TV programmes. i saw it about 2 years ago and video'd it, but can't find it now.
it was fantastic, the guy sailed a well-used 28 or 30 footer to south america, picked up 2 non-sailing crew and took them to Antartica. one of the crew was trying to run away from his new wife and went barmy, insisting on being 'put ashore' on the ice and the other guy, an american, who was loud and brash actually ended up being some use!
the programme ended with the skipper calmly filming his sinking boat from his liferaft in mid-ocean after it had been holed.
if anyone has it on video, can you re-watch it and tell me the skippers name?

many thanks

Sounds like you are talking about Jarle Andhøy. He has a web site at http://www.wildvikings.com/index.html Quite an intersting character!

Re: info on NORWEGIAN Sailor \'Extreme Lives\" TV

that certainly IS the man.
impressive or what!? thank you chaps - i've been searching for months to find him, don't know why i didn't ask you sooner - what a fool i am! it took you lot less than 2 hours - fantastic!

and my apologies to Jarle for getting his nationality wrong. i seem to recall he was quite patriotic.

i just checked out the web site - interesting he met up with the american, david mercy again for more adventures. i'd love to see the programme again and will be re-doubling my efforts to find it in the box of video tapes.

thanks Davy and cindersailor
