We just had news that on Friday the first sail boats managed to go
through Bellot Strait westbound. The boats were Arctic Tern, Novara and
Gjoa. Having overcome that major obstacle, they are now making their way
through Franklin Strait bound for Gjoa Haven.
Drina and the Norwegian tugboat Tandberg are making their way south from
Fort Ross and planning to transit Bellot Strait westbound as soon as
possible.
Three more boats that are eastbound are about to transit soon. They are
Lady Dana, Empiricus and Altan Girl.
