This "virgin" expedition becomes my 6 months trial by water. It will be the first ever recorded Canadian solo sailing voyage setting sail single-handedly from around Montreal on the St. Lawrence River, navigating a gruelling 6 months - 6,000 -nautical-mile odyssey along the wild, unforgiving coastlines of Northern Labrador, traversing the Northwest Passage, around Alaska and then south to beautiful Vancouver, arriving in the spring of 2028. Whilst three other sailors over the age of 65 (David Scott Cowper , Erkan Gursoy and André Speet have successfully solo sailed the Northwest Passage, they did not sail this Canadian route East to West, i.E. Montreal to Vancouver). With only my loyal dog Lucy as my crew and companion, I will face the endless open waters alone, proving that grey hair (or in my case, baldness) is a badge of courage and honor, not a white flag of surrender. All or nothing baby!!!
