Arctic Finale

 

I have not yet seen an official announcement, but the tracker page seems to indicate that after a week in St. Paul Island in the Bering Sea's Pribilofs, the Yeva has dry docked there. The Yeva's locating beacon shows the ship to no longer be docked in the harbor but instead to be in what appears to be a large nearby shipyard.

Ella Hibbert has already announced that she will take the second half of her Arctic Ocean circumnavigation next year, sailing the Northeast Passage over the north coast of Russian and Scandinavia. St. Paul's, situated as it is in the middle of the Bering Sea between Alaska and Russia, would be an ideal point from which to start next year's journey.

Tamara Klink has already dry docked the Sandinha 2 in Homer, Alaska, the Yeva's intended port before bad weather caused Ella to divert to St. Paul instead.

In any event, congratulations to both sailors and thank you for sharing your exciting journey with us. Can't wait to follow you next year!
