Wow! That’s all I can say.

I’ve just been watching the Arctic sailing documentary by Sailing Delos and 59 North. They sailed all the way up to 80⁰ North in Svalbard, an archipelago off northern Norway.
Amazing video and what an adventure!
I have to admit, I love adventure travel videos. Real people doing real stuff. Wondering if I could handle what they’re doing. But 80⁰ North: Sailing on Top of the World goes beyond.
First, it’s a sailboat, and I can imagine what it’s like a bit better. Second, the production and editing are superb. Way better than some of the Discovery Channel streaming shows we watched while Dave was recovering from his hip replacement. And third, it’s available on a pay-what-you-can basis.
If you’re looking for an escape from all that is stressful, or perhaps a great holiday treat for yourself, I think you’ll love 80⁰ North.
