Bogus!! The North-west passage is completely ice-free — has been for at least two years now. Al Gore told us so over a decade ago.

The only extra prep this trip should require is packing extra high-SPF sun screen, and Gatorade (to help ward off heat stroke).

Who’s pocketing the money that (we’re supposed to believe) went to pay for ice-breakers??

Seems like their AIS equipment is down, I get a six-day old position.

I also have a neighbor on that cruise and I bet a pint of good beer they don’t make it all the way through...:^)
