40 miles from Barrow means that he didn’t get very far before becoming ice-locked.

Not far at all.

He was attempting to sail from Vancouver to the Canadian east coast via the Arctic Circle. At least the Coast Guard rescue was straightforward, after they ice broke a 12 mile path.

You are right about that. 40 miles from Barrow is about 2000 miles from Nova Scotia.
