The Niemanns took an east-about route in the Northern Hemisphere via the Northwest Passage, Europe and SE Asia. COVID hit the world while they were in Turkey, and they decided to sail home directly and as quickly as possible via the Suez Canal, Indian Ocean and North Pacific. They did indeed (despite surprises and misadventures) return home to the Salish Sea in August 2021.
We hope you can join us for these events!
