We knew that he had recently returned from his trip around Cape Horn, but we didn’t realize that he would have as much video footage as he did (he gave me about 20 hours of footage of the trip to comb through) or that his trip itself would have been as exciting as it was (complete with exotic South American locations, dangerous seas, and even a man overboard!). I had originally envisioned making one segment featuring Quen’s 1960s trip that would just touch on his Cape Horn trip. But, after finishing our interview with Quen and his daughter Ashley, and seeing all of the great photos and videos they had, it was clear that both stories were worth telling in their own right. Prairie Fire segments are usually only around 5 minutes each, but given the epic nature of both of Quen’s voyages, these two turned into epic segments as well (the Sailing Around the World segment came out at 12-minutes and this Cape Horn segment is a whopping 16-minutes). Hopefully you agree with me that they’re worth the time.
