Uwe and Kathrin got detailed maps in Cambridge Bay and did some reparations on the boat. Back in the cockpit the team experienced strong winds and high waves, which got them in trouble and Uwe had no choice as to call a May Day.
They didn’t have a VHF radio with them, but eventually made contact with the Coast Guard via a passing cargo ship. Perithia were towed back to Cambridge Bay reported Uwe.
In Cambridge Bay an American, sailing with his wife and two daughters, had a sewing machine and repaired the damaged sails. According to Uwe the American family Rolland, Debrah and their daughters Bianca (9) and Jannell (11) are sailing around the Americas on a small boat, Precipice. Both boats were on their way to Tuktoyaktuk.

The Canadian Coast Guard was called upon to assist the sailing yacht Fiona in Peel Sound after the ice closed in on her and raised the boat clear out of the water.
The German-flagged Perithia, surrounded by ice, had a polar bear walk up to the boat and try to enter the cockpit.
Other boats were pushed onto the beach or had to wait for days for the ice to clear out of their way.
Silent Sound was lucky…we had to change our sailing plans , port calls and time schedule to allow for the ice, but we escaped unharmed and completed the passage as planned.

The boat was blocked by ice in Peel Sound and they hesitated to go through.
Eventually they found a gap and went through. Some wind pushed them through with considerable speed they reported.

They were pleased to overcome a difficult section and said patience and luck is the motto.
Uwe and Kathrin made a change in their route plan but don’t have the necessary maps for the new route.
When approaching Gjoa Haven they had problems finding the harbour in thick fog and finding a radio channel to get the coordinates from another boat or someone else.
Eventually in good visibility they got to Gjoa Haven and then headed for Cambridge Bay.

The German boat with crew, Uwe and Kathrin, are attempting the NW passage from east to west as part of a yearlong journey.
They struggled in the heavy ice near Resolute, and haven’t done any dispatches thereafter.

Three sailboats and a skiff are heading eastward; three sailboats and a motor vessels are heading westward; and two cruise liners will pass each other in the Passage (‘Hanseatic’ west to east and ‘Bremen’ east to west).
The Canadian Coast Guard vessel in the Passage is ‘Sir Wilfried Laurier’.
