What is the most remote, distant geographic location you've been?

[tuqqer]

300 miles south of the tip of South Africa. I'd taken off in a 41' sloop with a crew of five, headed for Reunion Island, and within 12 hours a storm turned into a Force 9 gale and drove us in the opposite direction for 6 days. We tipped twice, and that second time as we were trying to right the boat, I thought this is the loneliest place on earth.

In terms of land, it was Farquhar island, an 8 sq. km spot that is part of the Seychelles Islands north of Madagasgar. About 70 inhabitants.
