It’s weird how many people trying to do this ALWAYS get stuck in the ice. They might want to purchase a globe before they sail off. Oh yeah. Don’t read any articles written by Algore and his loony envirowackos.
It is true that up until last summer a lot of the Arctic Ocean was free of ice to some degree in the warm months. How clear from ice I don’t know.
But this guy should have decided his sailing route and time of the year based on the current conditions of the last year and this summer. The Arctic has been more ice packed in the summer recently.
A GW doofus, I think.
