    A lot of boats leave our marina (http://www.lewisporteyachtclub.com) each year to head off for northern adventures.

    Some examples:

    Icebergs frequent our shores in the spring and early summer, so some familiar sights in the video.

    They started in Eastern Canada, sailed to Greenland then through the North-west passage over 2 seasons and down through the Bering Strait to Nome. The sailing season is short because of the ice so they store the boat ashore and fly back to Australia each year. Well worth watching the whole series on YouTube or having a look at their website http://www.yachtteleport.com .

    Great video.
    But, it is Greenland, not Iceland, you Bl@#y Pom.
    Just joking…

    On http://www.chrisbray.net/teleport/news_detail.php?news_id=64, they say, ” Our good friends Les and Ali onboard their new super-strong 43 foot steel yacht Arctic Tern (after their previous boat was wrecked in a storm soon after we left them in Greenland in 2011) were attempting the passage this year from the East, and judging from their tracker, it seems like they have made the difficult but wise decision to turn back…”

    That is the second Arctic Tern above. I was talking to Les about the decision to turn back last summer. It was difficult, but they are sure the correct one. I think they picked up a delivery or two to keep them busy over the winter. I expect we will see them back here soon, getting their boat ready for this summer’s attempt.

    A very well done set of videos on making the passage. I’ve been a good deal further north (CFS Alert), but by airplane, not boat. The arctic is an interesting place.

    Peter,

    you live and sail in such a wonderful place…..

    you really should write a sailing blog, takes loads of pictures and do some filming

    One of the wonderful things about the web is that I can see all these brilliant places I will never sail

    I’m working on it. Started using my old blog again at http://jph4.blogspot.ca/. Getting that revamped and updated.

    Someone is going to give me his old, but perfectly fine, Raymarine ST1000, so I’ll be able to let go of the tiller more often, for longer periods to film and take pictures.

    Taking good video is the next challenge. You talked me out of a GoPro, so I’m looking at the other options. Probably going to purchase one of the weatherproof Panasonics, as you suggested, if I can find good mounting options for it.

    I expect the 2014 sailing season will be well documented.

    well done

    just buy a radio shack tripod and some bungees

    that is all you need

    bungee it to the pushpit, to the boom, to the end of the boat hook

    Go Pro is a triumph of marketing over product – it is the ultimate one trick pony
