About this product

Product Information

In a post-exploration world, two relatively ordinary blokes, serving Royal Marines, decided they wanted an extraordinary 21st century adventure. In this refreshingly honest account they re-live the highs and lows of sailing and rowing a tiny open boat, completely unsupported, through one of the most iconic wilderness waterways on the planet - the Northwest Passage across the top of Canada. They describe battling with an Arctic storm miles from land and being caught in the worst sea ice for more than a decade. At one point they are forced to drag Arctic Mariner, their seventeen-foot boat, across ten miles of broken pack ice to reach open water. Their story is enriched by the Inuit people and the incredible wildlife they met along the way, including all-too-close encounters with both grizzly and polar bears. And they relate with honesty how the isolation and stresses of the high Arctic shaped the bond between their two very different personalities. This is neither an expose of global warming, nor a detailed study of Inuit culture. It is not particularly long on the historical quest for the Northwest Passage. It is quite simply the tale of two blokes, up north.

Very fast delivery of this used book in an as new condition. The seller offered me the chance to accept a lower purchase price which I gladly did & the book was sent in protective as well as environmentally friendly packaging. One couldn't possibly ask more from a seller & not only did I save the seller, but I will certainly look out for future items they may have. Highly recommended with excellent customer service and communication. Despite postage it was the cheapest. Free postage is a scam.

    A great adventure

    I am interested in sailing and the Northwest Passage, so I had to read this. If you are interested in open boat sailing or the Northwest passage, you will enjoy this book. I found the literary style a bit jarring, but then, these brave men are soldiers, sailors and adventurers, not scholars. Overall, well worth the money
