Some days, I dream of getting so far away from people that I do something crazy...something like kayaking the Northwest Passage. Luckily, I don't have to dream about it anymore...now I get to live vicariously through the Arctic Cowboys!
The team of West Hansen, Jeff Wueste, Eileen Visser, Mark Agnew, Barbara Edington, and Tom McGuire are planning to kayak all 2,000+ miles of the Northwest Passage.
This is their second attempt. They made it roughly 260 miles on an expedition in 2022, but chose to terminate. After some additional planning, they have come back together to take another bite at the apple. The team left on June 24th to get up north for the final stages of setup before taking off.
As an added layer of cool, this expedition has been chosen to carry an Explorers Club flag.
Congrats to the Arctic Cowboys team, and best wishes as they begin this amazing journey!
