Of all the things I can think of, is “ living life to the fullest.”. Is my first thought. I’ll watch it again. Inspirational.

[@mikepech1648]

I'm a retired outdoors person and did my boating on the great lakes. Now I'm stuck in my apt. because of health issues. You guys took me on an awesome trip. Than you very much for sharing an awesome video.

[@heatmoon]

It is great to watch such great people whom appreciate the magnitude of what their doing accomplish this. Vicarious living. I have yet to get on the Lakes, and I live a couple hours from Duluth. Not an amateur sailors place is my thought.

[@ronhatcher7734]

dittos, i really enjoyed that a well.

[@mikepech1648]

@@heatmoon Everyone on the lakes was an amateur at one time. Just take a course on pleasure boating, keep an eye on weather forecasts and don't play a fool and taking stupid chances and you'll be fine. Just mentions that tells me you're smart enough to take in the most beautiful boating in the world.

[@lexluthor6497]

Hope you'r getting better.greetings from🇫🇮

[@mikepech1648]

@@lexluthor6497 Thankyou. i'm still ,mobile, but old age is taking it's toll lol. But I have a persistant son who grabs me by one ear and sticks me on his boat. I do have to admit, I don't put up any resistance. lol

[@simonsezz2293]

Second time I have watched this…just amazing. My aluminium boat delivers next year and I hope to experience just a fraction of what you have…..and I will be content. And as for Moli….what a legend.,,,

[@theogriengl958]

As a catamaran sailor who was mainly sailing in moderate water (Mediterranean Sea), I followed this movie with excitement. THAT is demanding sailing and adventure. Compliments from the entire crew. Such videos are rarely seen in this quality. Stay well all of you and best regards from Austria!

[@hel-gsailing]

That was a fantasic film about the passage. Love the teller voiceover and the way the story is told. Inspiring!! Thanks for sharing

[@bchost]

I lived in Yukon Territory for 15 years... When I first arrived there I worked for the phone company. My work territory was all of Yukon and much of the NWT. I got to see many amazing places and loved the experience! Thanks for sharing this video, it brought wonderful memories back!

[@ChrisThorpe4508]

Absolutely FAB. Thank you so much for producing this video and sharing your journey through the scenic and icey North West Passage. Very inspiring.

[@CherryBlossomHill]

Congratulations! Absolutely filled my heart and moved me deeply, thank you for sharing your incredible journey!

[@markphillips2008]

The low-key, factual (very Belgian) delivery, contrasted with the spectacular scenery and high-stakes adventure, made this a wonderful film. It's hard to take a bad picture up there, but your film and still work is first rate. Thank you.

[@Stalefish6]

Big big big thank you for your video…thanks for sharing…wonderful…watched it twice today…❤️🙏🌏

[@skinwalker_]

Most enjoyable sailing video I have watched! And I have watched a lot. I really appreciate you putting it up here and sharing it with us it was a real pleasure to go along with you on the voyage from my COVID locked down living room in London. 🙏

[@lydiaajohnson]

It was overall much more calm than I imagined that voyage would be. I could see making that trip. How gorgeous! What a feat!

[@diamantinatouringcompany6278]

[@davidwearswool]

Absolutely spectacular. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Hope to see you all out on the water some day.

[@lifeislikesailing]

Wonderful documentation of this trip. We plan to do it ourselves one day from East to West. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@johngower4164]

Very impressive. From meticulous planning, careful execution and teamwork both in ALIOTH and between yachts, this was a true mariners' adventure. Not only that but your great photography and self deprecating and interesting commentary brought it all to life. Can't wait to see the return trip when COVID allows.

[@davidcreel3170]

Absolutely stunning photos, couldn’t stop watching. The narrating was soothing and went perfectly with the video, I loved it. Very well done!

[@dominiquetincelin757]

Bravo pour cette superbe navigation. Je suis très heureux de voir que le nouvel équipage d’Alioth entreprend des traversées toujours plus belles et pleines d’aventures.

[@sboobyer0106]

What a beautiful and inspiring video. The photography was breath-taking. Well done guys.

[@Early8Q]

Thank you for sharing your adventure and accomplishment. Amazing that you were in the company of Randall Reeves on his figure 8. As I watched I was trying to imagine Matt Rutherford doing it. A rare club of sailors indeed.

[@Happ465]

Thank you for sharing an incredible voyage! I’m truly speechless.

[@ronhatcher7734]

What a great documentary! Wow, that was incredible.

[@manning643]

Fantastic Video, Randal Reves Is a sailing hero first ever to sail the figure eight voyage threw the Northwest passage then around cape horn then around Antarctica back again at cape horn back to the states. You were very lucky to have him as a sailing buddy on your trip.

[@robertgoodell9480]

I am really enjoying this well narrated journey through The North West Passage !!! Thank you so much Guy's for sharing your great adventure !!! I have always wondered about the NWP - now I know !!! Will be getting my own boat soon - perhaps our paths will cross some day - "God willing" !!!

[@richardmcbride538]

Absolutely superb. An amazing voyage, stunning scenery, and a very capable boat. I hugely enjoyed watching your docu-film.

[@HeSaid007]

You are true sailors, showing the way, the adventure, modern day Joshua Slocum spirits. An exquisite story, excellent presentation. Thank you for your gift to the world and us novice sailors. "WELL DONE"

Mesmirizing storytelling. Inspirational journy. Stunning scenery. Beautiful boat. Thank you for sharing.

[@craigscott7798]

Incredible and inspiring. Have often wondered whether that route was possible - it's certainly not for the faint hearted. Thank you for taking us along for the sail.

[@andrewnielsen3178]

Sadly due to warming the passage is becoming more practical. The first travelers were really up against ice all the way.

[@SailingSula]

very nice film, thanks for documenting. nice shots and well narrated

[@heatherhodge1590]

What an amazing adventure and accomplishment! Thank so much for sharing!

[@jasonsweet1868]

Wonderful spectacular and you did such a great job of recounting and filming. I have set this as my lifetime achievement for a couple of years now and thanks so much for a very informative documentary cheers

[@rustymacneil3227]

Spectacular!! We from the south never get a glimpse of what life in the north is like. Thank-you. For the 62 thumbs down, not enough explosions and car chases I guess.

[@flyajet]

Really enjoyed your video, thank you for making it! Beautifully done.

[@thomaselliott573]

You did it. The great voyages ae few and far between. I did one and it has always been the best part of my life. Your appreciation is highly appropriate. Well done.

Gentleman - An excellent documentary of your voyage. A great achievement on both fronts. The Arctic intrigues me like no other place on the planet, and I am not certain why that is the case! Kind regards, Adam from Tasmania.

"The Arctic intrigues me like no other place on the planet..." Ditto, my friend.

One epic video and sailing, it truley inspired me to do something similar if not the same. Much love to you guys and an epic adventure!

[@jason13533]

Anyone thumbs downing an effort like this...is doomed, god help you. What an achievement well done and thank you great video.

[@pobblebonk3]

Beautiful. Thank you from Port Philip Australia.

[@kenpole1840]

Mesmerizing, thankyou, A part of our country most Canadians never see.

[@drx1xym154]

Yes! And none of that CVD bug in the Arctic! Lots of time in the Greenland - based on this... looks like a LOT more fun and more of a challenge that I could have imaged! Odd that the bad engine part also took out your generator. I did not see any solar, yet at least one hydro and one wind generator - though not a lot of power, it all helps! - Fair winds!

[@edwardfinn4141]

Great photography of Newfoundland- my home, thanks for doing it! 👍👍

[@piperg6179]

Mike, I agree with you. I too was planning a Northwest passage run but was going to use an Alcort or AMF Sunfish. But now that i have seen this great video i am switching to rounding Cape Horn, solo, of course. Retracing Slocum with a simpler boat except Slocum went through the straits. A man should always have a goal. Hope you are feeling well.

[@antonykyriacou8300]

I really enjoyed your story and footage. Cheers.

[@BarracudaHawk]

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your journey!
