Annie Hill has been enjoying an almost continuous roving commission since 1975.  In this time she has sailed over 150,000 miles, largely on two boats: the junk-rigged, plywood, 34 ft Badger and the gaff-rigged, steel, 35 ft Iron Bark.  In this time she has sailed from 73° N to 61° S, has cruised in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and spent a winter aboard in Greenland, frozen in for 7 months.  She has written two books: Voyaging on a Small Income and Brazil and Beyond, both of which are still in print.  She sails with Trevor Robertson, the builder of Iron Bark, who has the unique record of having over wintered both in Antarctica and above the Arctic Circle in a completely unsponsored, home-built boat.
