Northwest Passage

Only half way through as I'm supposed to be working, but it is a great movie!!

I take it this is the Timmerman 47m Lattitude?

Great video of happy souls.
Cheers Max.

Great video and a beautiful adventure.

This is on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing

The Northwest passage is also on my bucket list, how crazy would you have to be to try this in a fiberglass/composite/non-steel hull? Just so we're on the same page, the Northwest passage is going up the East coast over the top of Canada, and then down to Vancouver. Yes?

An absolutely epic journey! Great job composing the images, video and music.

What an adventure! and great pics of the trip.

Did he have to tow that tender thru all the ice?

And what were the gun laws up there assuming they are not Canadian flagged? I noticed an AR platform.

I'm sure someone can answer what kind of boat is that and of what material?

And the "Ice Captain" has been around! http://the-voice.com/glaciersocietyorg/Archive/about/bios_advisors.htm

Interesting history and maps of different routes thru the NW Passage http://www.athropolis.com/map9.htm

Capt J, you're absolutely right. I am going to try it one of these days,(assuming I live long enough) But it's going to be in a Steel hulled vessel with Azimuth drives with Kort nozzles. I'm a Florida boy, and being north of the Mason Dixon line, is at the bottom of my comfort list. I would probably buy a used Doggersbank and have the drives retrofitted. I'd like to be able to back out of trouble faster than I drove into it.

Emmy award winner Sprague Theobald documented his trip through the NWP quite nicely. It was done nearly 4 years ago in a Nordhavn 57. The DVD is easily purchased and pretty well shows the trip does not need an "icebreaker" vessel or mentality.
