Fort Ross - next stop Greenland

Yesterday Dodo's Delight left Fort Ross, Nunavut in Canada heading east across Prince Regent Inlet to cross the ice at a break point then the plan is to head North to Lancaster Sound.  

Overnight there was a text update from Richard to say that they have found the ice, sunny and calm conditions.  The ice chart shows a small gap of 2/10 to both North and South.  Richard went up the mast and think they have found it.

Next stop Greenland they hope!

Excellent news and some real distance made over the past few days. Glad to see there is still a possibility to make the whole passage if the ice allows, and seemingly so at the moment.

Look forward to more news when available.

Nick and Helena

Michael, Steph is currently climbing the hill behind the settlement in Arctic bay where there is a sign made of painted stones telling us we are in Arctic Bay!

Equally delighted you have found a gap- London grey, wet and nothing like so exciting albeit mild....
