About This Site

My name is Olivier.

I am a master boatbuilder, a teacher and an hardcore sailor.  I intended to sail my hand-made cold molded wooden  boat named BRESKELL through the famed North West Passage during the summer of 2019 again.

From Pond Inlet camp base to Tay Bay( 11)

Along the trail to the North West Passage, passage-makers or locals, both told us that North of Bylot Island lays a lovely anchorage : Tay Bay.  Not all who wander are lost.  Why not spend one day or two there?

Before clearing customs in Pond Inlet, let me underline one important cultural difference between North America and Europe, specifically in Europe with countries of Latin traditions .

August 4th.  The beautiful cruise ship “Marco Polo” is delivering boat loads of tourists to the village.  A long day of shuttling for the crew, a long day of shopping for their guests.

After a final goodbye, we take some fuel before leaving Sisimiut harbor.

Already our last day at sea before entering the beautiful harbor of Sisimiut.   It often happens in summer; the wind died early, and we start the engine.

Surgery in a boatyard: part 2 (5-2)

Two talented artists decided to intercede on my behalf.  Neptune alone was not powerful enough. Not anymore the rude bone setter approach previously used. No big hammer, no screwdrivers, no saws nor wood splints.  The skill of the best plastic surgeon is now required.

When surfing on the crest of waves in 2018,  “Breskell’ song was not enough to persuade Neptune. The North West Passage remained tightly closed.   Two talented artists decided to intercede on my behalf.  Neptune alone was not powerful enough.  Why not appeal to its northern counterparts:  Njörd, Thor, even Odin?

Like all real hard-core sailors, my first choice is always the wind. With the smallest breeze, I love to play with my sails.
