In
the summer of 2012 Tom Hernon will navigate a 26 foot boat
through "The North West Passage". Over the next 2 years Tom
and his son Thomas will be figuring out the linguistics and
will be outfitting and customizing a 26 Foot Power
Sailor
with solar power panels, electric motors, navigation
equipment, hand crank generator system, navigation system and
radar. A 60 HP out-board is our main power source with two 40
hp back ups.
The trip will only start after all of the systems
are fully tested on shorter trips in Lake
Michigan. = Wheel in the
foot steps of the great explores. This history making
adventure is a once in a lifetime opportunity so join our team
today...
Our artic adventure
team
will be training,
customizing the boat and raising money for the trip. A large
percentage of the money raised will be going to provide
equipment for wheelchair athletes. Tom and his crew will show
the world that being in a wheelchair is only a handicap if you
make it one.
