Gone Floatabout: Episode 4

Through the Bering Strait and across the Arctic Circle! A rough passage in cold fog until north winds cause an unplanned stop at the longest continuously inhabited village in North America. As so often happens, the best experiences are the unexpected ones, and here Seth and Ellen become immersed in the subsistence culture of Alaska’s North Slope. With south winds finally in the forecast, the sailors show us how to read sea-ice charts and weather files downloaded by satellite phone.
