I thought I'd share this video of the S/V FINE TOLERANCE being towed out of pack ice by a Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker.
YOU REALLY DO NOT WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS WITH YOUR VESSEL - PLEASE GET OUT OF THE ARCTIC ASAP!

But.... I thought that there was no ice in the Arctic? Global Warming has melted it all?
We are all paying high taxes on energy because it's melting. If it isn't, why are we doing this?
Dodgy Geezer I think your handle says it all... ignorance... the state or fact of being ignorant: lack of knowledge, education, or awareness. More homework required... lol
You are paying because of special interest groups influencing policy and leaders. Only YOU and YOUR VOTE can make the CHANGE. Enough on this - I prefer to focus on the Arctic NW Passage. Thanks!
I guess the owner of the boat is paying as well, because of the special interest groups influencing media outlets to continuously publish stories about the melting arctic. Lest we forget 2013 was supposed to be the year of an ice free arctic.
Don't believe just the Media... good homework earns the highest grade. I suggest you checkout http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/ for current discussions.
Dont worry, I don't, Been a Watts et al officianado for many years.
I do feel genuinely sorry for the sailors.
To me it's like the climber who gets stuck on the face of Half Dome and calls for rescue thereby putting other lives in danger. To take on the ice and then ask for help is something I just can't understand. Was there a life and death medical emergency or the like?
