This is very impressive! I have been to that very spot, only after three days in Force 9 with 25 ft grey beards pounding us the whole way! My hat is off to anyone that can successfully navigate a Cat that size to the Antarctic Peninsula!

Personally after a circumnavigation I'd want to maybe head down to Africa, or even visit antartica. The Outremer is unsuitable for the latter.

Perhaps they will leave La Vaga in Aus, then head east in the Outremer. That would be new.

As for patreon, I think the figures are misleading. Someone who earns money that way did say that the figure you see is usually per month, so if releasing 4 vids a month then it's more like $2k per video. Still excellent though. Of course the taxman will have a massive chunk of that. Patreon donations aren't actually donations in the normal tax free sense. The patreons are actually paying for content/special access and the like.

Due to the duality of purpose, they most likely can't even claim boat expenses against tax. Still, it's a great income.

They are both Australian, (like myself) , so you really need to give Australian tax advise,

Alternatively they would also probably qualify as being non residents of Australia for tax purposes so could claim wherever they want to pay tax provided they had everything aligned accordingly

I wasn't giving advise, just a general overview that of course would need to be adapted to the local market. But whilst on the subject Patreon income is taxable in Aus, and in Aus just like in most other countries, you can't claim non-residence status unless you are domicile elsewhere (in a another tax area). Anyway, I'm sure non or us are interested in their tax or income situation.

Instead let's talk about those pics of Outreamers in the Antartica. Absolutely awesome. I wonder if they coated the hulls.

Nope
Bog standard Outremer, Saw it in Puerto Natales last year and spoke with the folk on board as they were heading south to Ushuaia and then to Antarctica
