A circumnavigator and mountaineer details his experiences sailing the Northwest Passage and completing a global circumnavigation. For the Northwest Passage, he utilized a motor vessel rather than a fiberglass sailboat, citing the need for a more robust hull in Arctic conditions.1:29 Navigating from the West Coast of the United States through Alaska and the Aleutian Islands, he spent five weeks in Nome before proceeding through the Arctic.6:04 He encountered significant ice, requiring constant bow-watch duty and the use of a tire-fender "bra" on the bow to protect the hull from impacts.14:29 During one transit, the vessel became pinned against ice, forcing the crew to release their anchor cable and retrieve it later using attached fenders.10:02

His earlier circumnavigation aboard an Island Packet 45 involved a route through the Caribbean, the Panama Canal, the Galapagos, and the Marquesas.8:24 He emphasizes the importance of carrying extensive spare parts for remote cruising.27:30 He also notes that the Galapagos requires strict hull-cleaning protocols to prevent the introduction of invasive species.31:12

The Northwest Passage requires careful monitoring of ice charts and the ability to anchor in remote, ice-free locations to avoid being crushed by moving floes.16:55
