On the Wind TV // Matt Rutherford Around the Arctic Ocean!

Picking up a video call from Andy while at sea at 79 degrees North, Matt Rutherford gives us the very latest on his epic quest to be the first person ever to sail solo, non-stop around the Arctic Ocean. He's only a few days away from entering the first "pinch point" on his Northern Sea Route above Siberia. Matt talkes through how the first 4,000+ miles of his passage has gone so far, how he was featured in Playboy magazine, what he thinks his chances of success are and how much he enjoys being alone at sea.
