Adventure Sailing: Northwest Passage

[DeepFrz]

I thought that many of us would be interested in this vBlog. I'm posting this link even though I'm sure many of us are already following the voyage to circumnavigate the America's.

I really urge you to read this man's blog and view his videos. He has crewed around the North West Passage and circumnavigated Antarctica and is now in Halifax on his way north to complete a figure 8 passage, San Francisco, Antarctica, Northwest Passage to San Francisco.

He has endured and recovered from several knock downs and tremendous gales in the southern ocean and the Atlantic.

It really is a worthwhile read to anyone contemplating crossing oceans or attempting the Northwest Passage.

We can expect to see an ice-free Arctic Ocean within 50 years, according to researchers at the University of California's Center for Climate Science, who say they've improved and narrowed past projections of when the Arctic might be free of sea ice.
Projections have varied from as early as 2026 to as distant as 2132.
Now, according to research published in the journal Nature Climate Change, the Arctic could be "functionally ice-free" by September 2044 — and no later than 2067 — assuming no changes to global carbon emissions.
