Most small-boat voyagers sail westward, taking advantage of the prevailing winds. Conor O'Brien chose to sail round the world in the opposite direction: 'I think I should die of boredom if I had to run 5,000 miles in the Trades.' On 20 June 1923, he left Dublin in the 20-ton Saoirse with a crew of two and crossed the Atlantic to Pernambuco in Brazil, then on to Durban and across the Indian Ocean to Melbourne. On the homeward passage, he steered from Auckland to Cape Horn and spent Christmas 1924 in the Falklands, which he describes in lively detail. For the three stages of this remarkable trip O'Brien was awarded the Challenge Cup of the royal Cruising club three times in succession.
