I couldn't find it on here so I thought I would draw your attention to it.

A nice interview by the Venture Lives YouTube channel (no connection with them)

From the text intro:
"David Scott Cowper and Jane Maufe discussing their latest feats: Solo circumnavigation through the Northwest Passage and transiting the Northwest Passage through all 8 routes. At the age of 76, this man is still going strong and has accomplished more than most can dream of. Jane Maufe also discusses her new book that just came out detailing their trip from 2015."

There isn't a place for all Motor and sail it seems (to talk about boats rather than lounge stuff), so rather than me dual posting, tell your yachtie friends it is here, if they are interested.

good spot, thanks for posting. I have read various articles about David Cowper and his boat Polar Bound, never heard an interview with them.

Here's a link to pics of his boat aground recently at Greenock (subject of another thread). It's not clear whether Cowper was in any way involved.
