Sea ice area is above normal in the Beaufort Sea, and unprecedented below freezing temperatures are forecast for most of the rest of the July.
Children just won’t know what Arctic alarmism is.

Looks like the Rowing team has hit the sea ice in the Beaufort Sea. Progress looks like it has slowed dramatically since they exited the river mouth. I wonder what happened to Reggie’s dramatic melting of the sea ice.
Andy or Steve, where may I look up pictures/ scenario’s of the rowing teams daily progress?

Reggie sure had a thing for the mouth of the MacKenzie river. Wouldn’t that be where tons of inland meltwater was being dumped into the sea, and displacing ice?
Arctic alarmism/climate alarmism will be pushed until the goal is achieved. Read Agenda 21.
The rowing team was sending reports every ten minutes, showing they were making good progress. They haven’t sent a location in 7 hours. Maybe they got eaten by polar bears.
Must contact the polar bears then. 🙂
I must admit that this is the first time in my life that I have been concerned about poley bears. 😉
The Canadian Wildlife Service have noticed many of their polar bear tracking beacons converging on a spot near the Mackenzie River. (just kidding)
Steven … there should be a big red spot at the location of Reggie’s blowtorch 😉
They were heading along the coast but the track now seems to have erratically changed to one farther and farther from the shore. Ice? or a bold strike for the North Magnetic Pole?
looks like ice….when you blow up their tracker…they’ve been zigging and zagging all over the place

Could be the wind messing with their track too … mostly an east wind (headwind) at 25 to 30 kilometers / hr
From here since they are rowing towards Tuktoyaktuk http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/canada/northwest-territories/tuktoyaktuk
In that forecast note that Reggie’s blowtorch catches a cold later this week!! As Steven already pointed out …. perfect weather for a wee paddle in an arctic ocean.
Rowboat ARCTIC JOULE is confronted by sea ice after four man crew tells the news Media that GLOBAL WARMING has melted the Arctic ice and would now allow them to row the Northwest Passage. See: http://northwestpassage2013.blogspot.com/2013/07/arctic-joule-rowboat-progress-stopped.html
Now they are on the Canadian shoreline. Either the rowing teams gps locating beacon is playing up, the website manager is playing up or they are having a rest day on their Tour de Arctique.
Erf. I don’t suppose whats-his-face would come back if you unspammed him? In light of Doug’s article link just above mine, I’d love to hear his explanation…
Team Twisted would have been better off with a 50HP 4-stroke (with plenty of gas) and a cutter on the front of their vessel:)
Looks like they needed Regies stupid blowtorch hahaha The warmists were just towed to shore by a fishing boat cuz they got te boat damaged when stuck in between ice by high winds
I just hear it on the radio but its not on their website yet
Can you provide a web link to the radio station? I’d love to hear this story.
Those polycarbonate & fiberglass vessels lust aren’t what they used to be:)
Or is it, they’re not designed for morons to take into the Arctic!
I wonder if Barry has dispatched a Nuclear Sub to take them to their destination yet…
Looks like about 1 NM in 12 hours?
Where are they at in relation to this ice map of the Beaufort Sea? What is their proposed route?

A young lady at the hotel said the team is not doing well!

They may need a fiber patching kit:)
Schadenfroid. To coin a phrase…
In Thailand we say “som nam naa”.
And in Scotland, we say: “If you fly with the crows – you get shot with the crows’. (Although we call them “craws”.)
From their blog: “The fact that it’s been an abnormally robust ice year – in recent years – weighs heavily as well. We know if we succeed under such circumstance our expedition will speak to the reality of climate change even louder still.”
Translation: The more ice we row through, the more that proves climate change!
