Half day update 12 Sept

NorthaboutShips log6 Comments12/09/2016

N73 50.7 W 079 43.3 Pressure 1004 water 1.29C, air 0C Lancaster Sound 14.30 UTC 12th Sept

Wind on our nose, but magnificent scenery on either side of Lancaster sound. Sun on the glaciers, a few ice bergs in the distance. Another day at the office! Its mornings like this that make it all worthwhile.

Later today we will have finished our Quest to do both the North East Passage and North West Passage on one season.

Hoooolla ShAkerrrrr

A very much deserved ‘well done’ to all involved. A truly brave venture to attempt both passages in succession.

Well done! Global warming deniers will find it harder to be believed.
