If I was closer I would be going to your presentation in Vancouver. I have been following your trip through the north west passage.

Blair, thank you. Sorry I'm not closer to Labrador.

Richard, Please relate your presentation experiences at various Boat Shows - what are people interested in learning about your NWP? Is there still a spirit of adventure and exploration out there? What preconceived ideas do people have about the Arctic and NWP? Do they know who discovered the NWP? That there are many NWP routes?
Thanks,
Doug

George, thanks.

Doug, there is definitely a spirit of adventure and exploration out there. Audiences seemed to vary from those who had sailed the NWP or were planning to do so, to those interested in hearing and seeing an adventure story. My talk was mostly about my trip, with a little background information and a map of general NWP routes. I think the audience already knew at least some of the history of the NWP. I didn't ask about what ideas people in the audience had about the Arctic or the NWP (I didn't really ask many questions of the audiences, perhaps I should have, but time was limited).

Tropical Sunrise

As it's midwinter in Alaska, I thought I'd post a tropical sunrise picture for variety. The picture was taken in the South Atlantic, near Brazil.

Good picture, it warms me up. NW winds, it must be above 25S while open hatch would worry me at lee side as you were sailing single hand then.

Fri Jan 27 13:36:14 EST 2012 | Richard Hudson

Victor, thanks. I wasn't concerned about the little hatch as the winds were steady and that hatch is small. I've since replaced that hatch with bolted-down plywood. When I find some thick enough plastic, I'll replace the plywood with clear plastic.

For all of you who attended Toronto meeting to see photos please contact me like Don Proctor & Brian of Bluffers Park Marina. We had good meeting with Richard and former NWP sailors of 2006 "s/y Nekton". Hope we will see another spectacle in N.Y.

Richard, Did anyone video your presentation and upload it to YouTube.com?
Thanks,
Doug

Doug, both my presentations in New York were taped, but neither has been uploaded. Exactly what will be done with the raw footage hasn't been decided yet.

There are some pictures from one of the presentations at http://www.meetup.com/gotham-city-sailing-association/events/42647082/

As I recall, Tim was recording the meeting on video, may be has it. I have only few photos.

Fri Jan 20 23:28:04 EST 2012 | Richard Hudson

Thanks for the thoughts. I do have some video of the presentation, but it is from two cameras, and hasn't been edited, so isn't really in a condition to be released at this time.
If you'd still like to see it, email me.

I thought you'd be in NYC doing your slide show by now!

Wed Jan 18 9:18:14 EST 2012 | Richard Hudson

I am in NYC now, but Issuma is still in Sitka :)
I did a presentation last week in Toronto at the Polish Canadian Yacht Club. I'm doing another in NYC tonight and on Saturday.
