So, after four <br \/>\nenjoyable days in Dundas Harbour, the skippers of Aventura and Suilvan <br \/>\ndecided to cross Lancaster Sound to Admiralty Inlet on the south side of <br \/>\nLancaster Sound.  The deep inlet leads to Arctic Bay, which shelters a <br \/>\nsmall Inuit settlement.<\/p>\n<p>The latest ice chart issued daily by the Canadian Ice Service shows the <br \/>\n15 mile-wide inlet to be choked by ice, so I called the local vstation <br \/>\nof the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to find out if Arctic Bay <br \/>\nitself was accessible. The helpful duty officer confirmed that it was <br \/>\nfree of ice but could give no indication on the ice situation furher <br \/>\nout. We shall therefore approach the area with caution, and if we are <br \/>\nlucky and there is an open lead along the shore, we hope to be able to <br \/>\nreach our destination.<\/p>\n<p>Having shared Dundas Harbour with the Scottish yacht Suilvan, our fellow <br \/>\nBlue Planet Odyssey participant, by this morning two more boats had <br \/>\ndropped anchor next to us: the American Revenge, and the French Manuvai. <br \/>\n  This is the second time we are meeting the latter, which, just like <br \/>\nAventura, is also a product of the French boatyard Garcia. We are all <br \/>\nwestward bound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n<p>The long term forecast for the ice to start retreating in the approaches to the critical part of the Northwest Passage gives the first or possibly second week of August as a &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/2014\/07\/change-of-scenery\/\">Read more<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":8656,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-aventura","odd"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10742"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10742\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
