Howdy all, been following with horrific fascination. Always wanted to sail the NW passage, thrilled and horrified about the pending opportunities. Thanks for all your informative posts.
Meanwhile, in attempting to navigate various related sites, is the MacKenzie river about to flow a record melt into some record warm arctic temps? I'm aflutter with my sadistic tendency to thrill at extreme weather events, like rooting for a hurricane to grow stronger, even though I don't really want to see people hurt by the damage. This melt season appears to be that train wreck I can't look away from. Hope I'll be underwhelmed.
