Arctic Exploring with Cameron Dueck
Description
Cameron Dueck grew up in a Mennonite family on a remote turkey farm in the Canadian Prairies.
His journalism career took off in Chicago, where he wrote about American agriculture while learning to sail on Lake Michigan during the weekends. He moved on to New York City, where he further whetted his appetite for the open sea and international news.
He next joined Reuters as a correspondent in Singapore, where the idea of foreign ports and strange seas really took hold. When Cameron quit that job he jumped aboard a yacht to sail from Thailand to the Mediterranean, dodging pirates off the coast of Yemen and braving dust storms on the Red Sea.
He earned a Royal Yachting Association Offshore Yachtmaster qualification before setting off across the Atlantic Ocean. He soon returned to daily journalism, joining the South China Morning Post and then the Financial Times in Hong Kong.
