This coming summer – 2010 – I’ll be sailing up the coast of Labrador in northern Canada to retrace the rermarkable adventure of an Inuit sea captain, his family and two missionaries who in 1811 sailed around the Labrador Peninsula to meet Inuit in Ungava Bay who’d never before seen Europeans.
More information on this 3000 mile voyage coming soon. Subscribe for weekly updates throughout the voyage.
May the force be with you on your voyage. I look forward to your weekly updates. Barbara
Sounds like an adventure. Count me in for the updates too.
My sailing experience is somewhat limited to Scottish waters a long time ago. Looking forward to a virtual travel experience to Labrador… not been there yet!
Bonjour Dennison,
Here’s a link to Captain J.E.Bernier story told in a TV serie called Histoires Oubliés (Forgotten Stories) that sailed in the Arctic a 100 years ago. He was named KAPITAI KALLAC by the Inuits
