A double transit of the North West Passage, by Rev Bob Shepton
Bob, an ex-Royal Marine and retired school chaplain, is an extraordinary sailor who has circumnavigated several times, sailing over 130,000 miles in every latitude from the Arctic to the Antarctic, and a climber who has scaled previously unclimbed arctic mountains to boot.
