Re: NWP 2019 Revisited

Thanks Jack. There were also numbers of other "special" craft working the passage though not necessarily passing through. The area around where the HMS Terror was found seemed especially busy but the...

Re: NWP 2019 Revisited

Re: NWP 2019 Revisited

One thing has become very clear to me in watching Randall's journey. That is that Spot is not very accurate at high elevations, at least as it pertains to the installation on Moli. Watching his track...

Re: NWP 2019 Revisited

I just spotted another "pleasure vessel" headed west - east in the Beaufort Sea. He is really leaving it late to be heading through the Archipelago. I wish him luck. All the other boats are heading...

Re: NWP 2019 Revisited

Meanwhile our intrepid warrior is doing a dance with the ice in the Amundson Gulf. Its making escape from the Passage slow and difficult. Large storm a few days ago blew ice down into the area that...

Re: NWP 2019 Revisited

Two others have followed from Cambridge Bay leaving two or three still there. One boat has left Gjoa Haven heading west as well.

Re: NWP 2019 Revisited

Randall has left Cambridge Bay and seems to be pacing a cargo vessel of some kind although he is only making about 4.6 kts. on his way west. Looking at Windy and Earth null school it appears he will...

Re: NWP 2019 Revisited

So, the 3rd boat of the season is making its way through the Amundson Gulf while the second looks to be into the Beaufort Sea. I believe that the first boat to make it through is at Unalaska already...

Re: NWP 2019 Revisited

This in Randall's daily blog: Just a quick note to report that Mo is through the ice and sailing fast on a N wind for Cambridge Bay, 235 miles SW.

I have been pushing to get to Alioth’s position...

Re: NWP 2019 Revisited

At least 3 boats have made it to Cambridge Bay and the leader has now left, heading west.

Randall Reeves has left an anchorage in False Strait, just north of Bellot Strait. There is quite a lot of...

Re: NWP 2019 Revisited

It looks like we finally have a late comer on the West to East Passage but it is still in the Chukchi Sea west of Alaska.

Re: NWP 2019 Revisited

It appears that the first "Pleasure Craft" has made it through the ice bottleneck with 3 more vessels following.

Randall Reeves is still anchored at Bylot Island where he has been for some time...

Re: NWP 2019 Revisited

On Marine Traffic there is some movement but it's interesting that there is a boat labelled "Tugs and Special Craft" leading a "Passenger Vessel" and a "Pleasure Craft" all in the passage West of...

NWP 2019 Revisited

Interesting (at least to me) that when I checked out "MarineTraffic.com" that I see maybe 10 boats trying for the East - West passage but no boats trying the West - East passage. Does anyone know a...
