Well unfortunately this part of the adventure has already been eventful with strong winds, relatively big seas and snow! Yes snow! Got to love these northerly winds..well actually can't say I'm enjoying them at the moment. The nights are very dark now too and we haven't seen the sun in a while for the clouds. Was quite something to be out on deck putting a reef in the main when the snow started. Struggling to get blog up this past week, the connection just doesn't seem to want to work. But we are keeping warm and eating well, sadly the fresh vegetables are almost gone :-( Heading south of Wrangel Island (well outside the 12 nautical mile territorial limit) hoping the ice stays far far north and the refreeze is not for some time yet. We'll see what weather the next few days bring and what the ice charts show..
