With carefully tailored, informational and often humorous talks Captain Beadle transports her listeners to the icy edges of the world, beyond the end of the charts. An entrancing mix of adventures as a Master of private yachts, the journeys of the great explorers, glimpses of magnificent wildlife, crashing glaciers and the vibrant colours of local culture intertwine to create a totally enthralling story that rivets the attention.
The Northwest Passage-
Interwoven with the stories failure and success Captain Beadle takes you along on her enormous achievement as the first woman to drive a superyacht through the Northwest Passage. Only the 20th super yacht to complete the entire transit, we journey East to West, through heavy ice and rough weather on a journey of strange coincidences from Arctic Greenland to Nome Alaska, through a maze of frozen channels, meeting the ghosts of Franklin and the decendants of Amundsen, Orkney whalers and the imprint of the Hudsons Bay Company.
