We've taken the 250-mile jaunt eastward to the hamlet of Pond Inlet. It's the first community we've seen since leaving Greenland--in fact, the first sign of human habitation! We've seen a few ships and other sail boats, but this is the first sign of people actually living this far north.
The reason for the detour is that ice is melting a bit later this year and by refilling the propane, diesel, and larder, we hope to be able to make better time further along.
We loaded about 1000 litres of Diesel using our 7 5-gallon jerry cans. The crew made perhaps 20 dinghy trips from Celebrate to shore with the fuel. After the first hour, we were joined by numerous local kids who begged and charmed their way to dinghy rides out to the boat.
Our most recent ice charts show the ice clearing in the central passage and we will be underway again this evening with high hopes and full tanks!
