The Northwest passage; more than just ice… ‘B The Northwest passage; more than just ice…

‘Beothuk’ had an experienced ice pilot and expedition leader aboard, “who organised where we were going and what we were doing,” says Samuelson. “He took the boss ashore by Zodiac tender to spot wildlife, carrying his rifle for safety. We saw tons of polar bears with their cubs, including one tucking into a seal, as well as beluga whales, Arctic foxes and muskox’”

During Beothuk’s second Northwest Passage in 202 During Beothuk’s second Northwest Passage in 2024, pushing through ice and acclimatising to the constantly changing weather patterns were among the biggest challenges.

“We were waiting for a south wind to push the ice up and were able to call the friendly Canadian crew aboard one of the nearby icebreakers who gave us ice reports and information, that we didn’t have access to, on where there may be an opening in the ice”, explained captain Jerry Samuelson.

The 102’ / 31.00m Doggersbank ‘Beothuk’ brav The 102’ / 31.00m Doggersbank ‘Beothuk’ braved its second Northwest Passage adventure in the summer of 2024💫

Captain Jerry Samuelson has been at the helm of ‘Beothuk’ for 13, yet this was his first foray into the most formidable bodies of water.

The journey, planned with the assistance of @eyosexpeditions, began in Fort Lauderdale. 
The yacht and crew cruised to Jamaica, into Bocas del Toro in Panama, then headed up the west coast to the Galapagos. “We needed to be in Dutch Harbor, Alaska, by mid-July to be past all the weather fronts to enter the Northwest Passage from Nome,” says Samuelson, who served as both captain and chief engineer on the journey. They had eight days to get from Cambridge Bay in Canada, to Arctic Bay, a Hamlet in Baffin Bay, Canada.

Stay tuned for more…👍

‘Lakesider’: A voyage back in time To reach H ‘Lakesider’: A voyage back in time

To reach Haida Gwaii, which sits 50 miles offshore, boats must cross the dreaded Hecate Strait, known for opposing winds and currents, and exposure to large low pressure systems from the Gulf of Alaska.

“There are a lot of logistics involved with spending long periods of time in Haida Gwaii, but that’s what makes it fun,” says Correa.
