Northwest Passage
“Attempting the Northwest Passage” is a film documentary that we made of our voyage on the yacht “Catryn” of our attempt to sail around the Northwest Passage from Greenland to Nome, Alaska around the frozen north during the summer of 2014 (35 minutes). It depicts the incredible natural beauty of the Arctic and the many challenges of the trip.
