[Public-List] Northwest Passage-Solo Sailor

[Rick Leach]

Here's a quick blurb and link that I received from the folks at Good Old Boat that might be of general interest:


Experienced sailor Tommy Cook has created an incredible summer
adventure for himself: he'll be solo sailing from Minnesota to Alaska
via the Northwest Passage, over the top of the world. In order to do
that, he has, err, pushed the Great Lakes sailing season a bit, leaving
Two Harbors, Minnesota, on April 6 before the ice was off the lake.
(Preparation for what is to come, perhaps? Clearly he knows it's a long
way to go in a season so it's prudent to start early!)

Here's Tommy's web page:
