What It’s REALLY Like Sailing the Northwest Passage

The Pennington’s share their extraordinary 2023 adventure sailing the legendary Northwest Passage with their young son, Dean. From navigating treacherous ice-filled waters & sailing through severe storms to experiencing the breathtaking yet hostile Arctic landscapes, they reveal what it truly takes—mentally, physically, and emotionally—to tackle one of the world’s most challenging sailing routes.
