March 30th, the sun is back and the mild temperature allow for hanging around the community: such a day without wind is a true pleasure.

One of the very sunny day over Frobisher Bay, close to Iqaluit community.

While today is low amplitude tide of 9,60 meters -twice a month it goes up to 11,70 meters- this is an ideal example of what are the tides in Frobisher Bay. The sea with a 2 meters ice layer goes up and down twice a day along this natural wall.

The race arrived finaly at 2330 this Sunday 23th night with a blizzard warning in effect. Right on time!

Kimma is 3 months old today. She is fit, happy and love boating in the ice.

As I don't need to heat the wheelhouse, I have been using it as an easily accessible fridge/freezer for 4 months now. Average temp. have been -18C inside. But the sun is back. How long it will last?

Discover the city of Iqaluit. As the light is back and the temp. increase during the day, it's now easier to have a better look at the city.

While the tides were high, the ice broke around Aurora Magnetica and I had the chance to have a look under the boat.

The highest tides of the month flow on the top of the ice. Layer after layer, it build an impressive 3 meter ice blanket, to date. At -38C, the sea water freeze immediately. One hour later, you can walk on it.
