Anchored NE of Kangaarjuk

14/08/2024 - 18h Yellowknife time.

Position 68°59N 102°2W. Au mouillage. Vent NE 10 kts.

Arrived this morning in this waiting anchorage... On the ice chart there's now a 3/10 ice passage about fifty miles wide in the middle of Victoria strait. However this passage is narrow and the wind blew North today. So we'll wait another 24h, get 2 more good nights of sleep to recover from recent weeks. With tomorrow's ice chart we'll see if we attempt the passage. We're anchored with Lumi who shares the same objective.
