Leven Brown - Arctic Ocean Rowing Madness

Episode 84. Joining us from Scotland for another classic seafaring adventure tale is ocean rowing legend, Leven Brown. After 2 years of delays, he finally got to the start line of his expedition to row the Northwest Passage. Why would anyone want to row from the eastern coast of Canada, over the top into the Arctic Circle then on to the west coast of Alaska? Even in August it sounded horrendous: bitterly cold, rough seas and high winds. Plus an unwelcome encounter with a polar bear (and Great White sharks). Leven and his crew are tough as nails. Hats off to them. Enjoy...Leven's crew is supported by their selling their own delicious gin  https://www.orkneydistilling.com/products/northwest-passage-expedition-gin. They also support Big Blue Ocean Clean Up https://www.bigblueoceancleanup.org/and Siobhan's Trust https://siobhanstrust.uk/Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/misterkindness_podSubscribe on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg8snrvTqs8_AjgIq_sIsMgMis ter Kindness on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/njohn.kindness.9on#rower #oceanrower #Canada #Alaska #adventure #arcticcircle #ocean #gluttonforpunishment #sea #nature #mothernature #northwestpassage #explorer #explore #misterkindnesspodcast #podcast
