Sarah McNair-Landry and Erik Boomer came to visit us on board: exciting evening! We were delighted to meet Sarah, and to see Erik again (we met him in August 2011 in Grise Fiord after he circumnavigated Ellesmere Island by kayak. Launched today in a great journey of 4000km in 4 months around Baffin Island with their 13 dogs, they stopped in Qikiqtarjuaq before heading further north. They should gradually catch up with Jamie and Benno (map), Alex team-mates now by themselves since his accident (blog).

It's great to see these expeditions passing by!
