bernd1151 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Sailing the Northwest Passage We will take off from Gjoa Haven and fly west until we reach Cambridge Bay. Actually to fly the entire Northwest Passage, we should have started further north, but as we had a PBY waiting for us in Gjoa Haven we departed from there. This will be interesting, as we do this flight in early December, which means we have during the entire flight very little daylight. When you look at the map, you can see the route that we roughly plan to follow. The second leg will be later in the year in a Herc from Cambridge Bay via Kugluktuk to Ulukhaktok. Up there we have reached the Pacific Ocean. Let the adventure begin. It’s 8 am on Dec. 2nd It doesn’t get much better than this We were hardly able to see the sun raise, shortly thereafter we could already see it set again Interesting, because the light is so different Somewhere down there is a small eskimo settlement I was told Who wants to count the stars or tell me their names On final into Cambridge Bay Thanks for viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 A fantastic idea, and great shots of Inuit country. I had to think of Franklin´s men staying in these waters over so many winters, you flight came too late to help them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerold, maybe we both have recently seen the same documentary on TV. It gave me the idea to fly there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
