If you watch the BELZEBUB2 video they never provide video proof of their position - show the GPS - whats with that? As to a Canada Ice Service plane fly-by we do not know date, time or position. BELZEBUB2 claims a CIS flyover in McClure Strait - IN MCCLURE STRAIT - NOT west of Cape Prince Alfred. WHAT IS TRUE? BELZEBUB2 PROVIDES NO PROOF - PHOTOGRAPHIC, GPS OR SHIPS LOGBOOK. Its only a claim without proof. What is known is that David Scott Cowper was the FIRST to navigate a East-to-West Northwest Passage aboard his yacht POLAR BOUND using McClure Strait. Proof was real time GPS data sent to hundreds of HAMS over shortwave radio with atomic clock time stamps. Proof positive. DO NOT BELIEVE "PRESS RELEASES" - REMEMBER WHO CRAFTED IT. BELZEBUB2 crew brawled in NOME resulting in a police run-in, broken noses, kicked out of pubs, was fighting on the dock and the disrespectful behavior goes against anything might say - actions do speak louder than words. Now you know more of the shameful story... sorry crew. - Douglas Pohl Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:31:23 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/ecogeeks/3799-31-foot-boat-traverses-northwest-passage#comment-47249 The NW Passage as it currently exists is far less a challenge for small boats than large ones; small boats are more maneuverable and can slip into narrower channels than large liners or freighters. However, the day is coming when an around the world cruise won't have to be done only at the equator or in the tropics. - Carol S.
