    a small glimmer of reality is setting in….
    and a far cry from we’re going to row the NWP because it’s open

    “Yesterday Denis and I were chatting about this and we both agreed that when the trip is over, we simply want to be able to look ourselves in the eye and say we did absolutely everything humanly possible to get across the North West Passage. Essentially that we emptied the tank and left it all out there.”

    any serious explorer knows you don’t quit when the tank is empty, you quit when there’s still enough in the tank to get back home

    They can go down to the beach today and wave goodbye to the kayaker.

    Conrad foretold the rowers disintegration into madness as surely as Marlow’s own:

    “The doctor implies that going into the interior is something only a “fool” would do and suggests that the journey can only end badly. Anyone who starts it is only setting himself up for madness and defeat. We actually think he has a point.”

    “Marlow’s isolation…and the unchanging scenery of the coast lulls him into a comforting and false sense of security. In retrospect, he knows that he was living a “senseless delusion” in which nature is “a positive pleasure” and even makes sense. The further he gets into the interior, the more he becomes disillusioned.”

    A quartet of Don Quixotes looking for a mythical windmill to slay. Dumb asses!

      # We pulled on the Arctic Joule – like pack-horses or mules, Around barren ground we did roam,
      Walking all night, got into a fight, This is the worst trip I’ve ever been on.

      So haul up the Arctic Joule, see how the ice has set, call the sponsors and – Boy, I want to go home! (I want to go home)
      Let me go home. (Let me go home.) Why don’t you let me go home? (Yeah, yeah.) I feel so froze-up, I want to go home.

    Maybe the rowers need a different team on their side. A team like this one.

  8. Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment
    (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for novice blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
