Summer Harbour stop-over & gas on rations!

26/8/2013

Dodo's Delight stopped in the optimistically named Summer Harbour on Saturday night. Cambridge Bay is 380 miles away with clear seas for now and that is their next point of call.

Slight culinary fiasco in that the gas which was picked up in Tuktoyaktuk is not working so they are rationing cooker use and cups of tea!

The ice conditions beyond Cambridge Bay are not looking promising.

Even better progress and making up some time now it appears. Not good about the gas - I'm no expert in the cold but I know you do need calories, so make sure the meals are still coming!

Cambridge Bay - hotels, serviced apartments, and a visitor centre! Don't forget the souvenirs then! KFC and a Pizza Hut too - thought this was a 'wild adventure' for you....!

Hope the weather holds for you all and best wishes for the next leg.

Very pleased to follow your adventure blogs. Doesn't sound half as exciting as sitting in our sun drenched garden with the Sunday papers ! Well done you.
Your diary notes are working well, I can visualize the cold & damp with your next landfall 300+ miles away. Just think of all the wimps who wouldn't dare undertake such a challenge - and smile !
Rosalie & I wish you safe sailing for the rest of your journey.

The blog is becoming daily reading now, and the intermiitent reports give an idea of the remoteness, but as reported you have KFC to look forward to! You've got a bit of history coming up in Cambridge Bay, Amundsen's ship Maud is beached there if it hasn't sunk in the meantime or been removed back to Norway. He took 6 years over the NW passage. God speed!
