The OCC North West Passage Fleet are now closing on the more difficult sections of the NWP.

During the summer of 2024 all the OCC boats attempting the North West Passage connect via Zoom with the OCC Port Officer for the NWP, Victor Wejer, for a conversation about their exploits, the ice conditions and their plans. In this episode the NWP veteran, Rev Bob Shepton, joins the call.

S/V Moli is approaching Cambridge Bay from the west, 2 boats have transited the Bellot Strait and the others are between Pond Inlet and Depot Bay.
