I can't yet find any of the timing data on the 1983 Polar Star US Coast Guard 3/4 circumnavigation (they claim) but here's the map. I'll post more in coming days and weeks on this. You can find it in the index under Polar Star USCG expeditions - 1983.
Rick's comment-- The map is split on the left because I had to take copies from each side of an online image of a book. I'll post sources later. Notice that in 1983, the Polar Star visited many stations and completely avoided the Unclaimed Area of Marie Byrd Land in the lower left.

That's interesting-- And notice how the comments on that page refer to the windsurfing, not the denial by the captain and crew. I'll try to follow up on this lead. Thanks.
