The Northwest Passage and Beyond:
SSSS Webinar in lieu of the April 14th face-to-face Meeting
In an effort to stay connected and to hear a great saga, we invite you to join a South Sound Sailing Society Webinar that will feature Jesse and Samantha Osborn’s sailing journey from Alaska to Greenland through the Northwest Passage.
In 2010, Jesse read a book called “North Into The Night” by Alvah Simon and learned of the Northwest Passage. Discussing the subject with some of his sailing students while training one day, one of them put the question to him: “When are you going to go?”
Since sailing instructors do not make much money and he had a great deal of learning ahead, he gave himself some time: “2012” he responded. With the date set, he immediately began the difficult, rewarding, life altering path to Greenland.
Their presentation will be about the process of “departure” and the journey. How to go about it. How to prioritize time, money and effort both in outfitting as well as at sea. There will be lots of ice footage as well as stories from the people they met in the Arctic, and admissions of the mistakes they made.
For the past five years, Samantha and Jesse have run a small company called Seven Seas Sailing Logistics, where they provide vessel transport; sailing and docking lessons; “Keel to mast” refits; and other marine services. Their current project is a Sparkman and Stevens 47 refit that is near completion.
