An important update from on board Yeva. 
Unfortunately the Northern Sea Route Administration have asked that we cease our attempt at crossing the NorthEast Passage this year, due to an unusually heavy amount of ice blocking the Eastern entrance to the Northern Sea Route, as well as some other locations along the route that they are concerned will not open up enough. Our permit for the NSR states that we must remain in “ice free waters” - unlike the NorthWest Passage, where you are allowed to find paths through the ice fields. 
This means that Yeva and I cannot continue our expedition this year. 
It is a tough pill to swallow, after spending so long working hard to get Yeva ready again, and seeing all that hard work pay off on our way up the Bering Sea, where Yeva and I had an absolutely wonderful shakedown sail. We’d actually made it all the way to Russia when we got this news. 
I am now tucked up safe and sound in Nome, Alaska, making other arrangements for an over-wintering of the boat here again. 
My incredible partners @capitalcom_moments have graciously offered to continue their support for us to try again next year, and the Northern Sea Route Administration have invited me to re-apply for another go next year also. 
After having poured so much of myself into this expedition over the last few years, I am not ready to throw in the towel just yet. Let’s see what next year brings. 
I will keep you all updated with further news, as always. 
Thank you for following along, your messages and comments of support mean the world. 
I want to thank my communication partners @iridiumcomm , my wonderful sponsors @drift.noise , as well as @mustangsurvival , @jeckellsthesailmaker , @ybtracking , @suffolkmarinesafety , @armareropes , @artandseadesign , @weareboatfolk , @dsnmltd , @dubarrysailing , @firepotfood , @halyardltd , @kruegerltd , @maritimeskillsacademy , @medicalsupportoffshore , @osmotech_uk , @paintworldltd , @seastartltd , @seajet_yacht_paint , @stalokterminals , @vmg_technology , @wave.international , and BlackBeard Marine. 
Yeva and I wouldn’t have even made it this far without each and every one of you. I appreciate you all more than words can say.

What a "quick trip" actually looks like:
🗺️ Weather routing & swell matrices
🛂 Port clearances & paperwork
⚙️ Engine room pre-checks
🤝 Full crew briefings
⛽️ Bunkering & system checks
🚤 Advance tender recon
⚓️ Pinpointing the perfect holding ground
We master the variables so the guests just enjoy the view. 🛥️💨

Concentration stations. Every kid should have a playground, so we added one to the job list at the school we’re helping build in West Africa. 

The crew are pouring their hearts, souls and sweat into this thing - along with some little helping hands - and it’s shaping up to be a beast. 

Big shout out to the team at @dsnmltd who have contributed to the materials for this non-optional extra, in support of the legends from @homeghananpo who run this school 🙏🏽
