Mike Beedell (professional pisotographer) of Orleans, Ontario, and Jeff McInnis (student, UWO) have completed a most difficult, dangerous, and uncomfortable adventure: sailing a catamaran about half-way through the NW Passage (Tuk to Cambridge Bay). They expect to com- plete this arduous expedition next summer.
