All routes through the Northwest Passage remain blocked by ice with no
immediate prospect of any opening, so today I’ve made the decision to head back
to Greenland then on to Newfoundland. We’ve now run out of time to make it
through in one summer and I’m not prepared to overwinter up here in the ice, so
the decision was an easy one in the end. This is simply a pause in our attempt
to sail through the Northwest Passage as we’ll be continuing next summer if the
conditions look favourable.
We’ve had a great time here in the Canadian Arctic and my crew have been
the best. No doubt they’ll continue blogging here as we sail along.
