The barge contains 5,500 yards of 'hog fuel,' a wood waste product. He does not have many opportunities to rustle ducks, his main role on board is morale and vacuum cleaning.The Canadian Coast Guard was responding Wednesday to a barge filled with wood debris that was intentionally grounded near Campbell River, B.C.Д¬oast guard officials say the operator of the tugboat Pacific Chief intentionally beached the barge in Duncan Bay on Tuesday morning after the cargo had shifted. Shackleton is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, originally bred to lure ducks from the river side in Canada. In 2020 we are looking forward to going further north, the last bit of the Norwegian coast we are yet to see. Having reached TromsГё, we are beginning the next stage of our adventure, continuing to live aboard StГёdig and using her as a base to explore the top of Norway. Please email us to find out more about these opportunities. At the same time we are benefiting from the generosity of a number of companies donating their products and a crowd funding campaign selling shares in the lifeboat, profits from which will go to the work of Hope Health Action. We both worked hard to raise funds alongside the conversion, and continue to work whilst travelling. We hope to show the finished film at festivals in 2020. We are also lucky enough to have filmmakers COPA and Febril, notably Jonny Campbell making a feature film of the conversion. With a trip to Norway already gestating, he then had to convince David it was a good idea.Дavid's passion is landscape and adventure photography, and he is recording every stage of the project. After spotting a converted lifeboat on a river three years ago, Guylee became convinced they had the potential to become a supreme adventure craft. It was this functional aesthetic, their generous interior and their relative affordability that paved the way for this conversion and voyage. They are the ultimate functional product, intended for mass transport in survival situations. The lifeboat then followed the route of the famous Hurtigruten ferry, passing up the fjords to TromsГё. Passing up the Danish then Swedish coast past Copenhagen and Gothenburg, before crossing the Skagerrak south of the lower tip of Norway up to Bergen.

The route skirted the Begian and Dutch coast, passing the Kiel canal in Germany into the Baltic. The voyage began in May 2019, departing the southern British port of Newhaven. The aim of the expedition is to explore this wild and isolated landscape, demonstrate the ability of design innovation to facilitate self sufficiency in such extreme environments and to document and share the adventure through photography and film. Situated at 70 o north, TromsГё is the largest city in the Arctic and having arrived, the lifeboat and crew are spending the winter there, and exploring their surroundings. Along with Shackleton, Guylee's dog, they travelled from the UK to TromsГё, far north in the Norwegian Fjords. Architects Guylee Simmonds and David Schnabel bought a marine survival lifeboat in February 2018 and after a year long conversion left on four month voyage to the Arctic.
