Marine science fiction
The adventure centers its story on Lara and Julio, a newly married couple seeking to escape the burden of technology and the massiveness of modern life, who embarks in Ushuaia on a so-called "barefoot cruise" in the year 2213 to Cape Horns and on a themed voyage set in 1933, to an adventure honeymoon on an old historical wooden schooner launched that same year called Destino. In it, together with Álvaro, a brave and particular fanatic Captain of the golden age of science fiction, who treasures as guardian antiquities, they will join a heterogeneous passage, to face problems of coexistence, a strange madness unleashed among the crew and a sudden and curious contact of the third kind from strange lights in the Antarctic Glacier Sea that could make even the most incredulous of observers doubt.

This story tries to show in its plot in a very subtle way the similarities between marine and space exploration. Inspired by Jules Verne's 1864 book, "The Adventures of Captain Hatteras", something by Agatha Christie, and the solo feat of the Argentine navigator Vito Dumas, who traveled in 1942 "The Impossible Route" that of "The Forty Roarings", in a boat of 9.55 meters. long and 3.30 wide, the Lehg II.
