• Storm!! Cruising past Jenny Lind Island towards Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Arctic Canada

We were meant to stop and do landings/hike at Jenny Lind Island, named for the Swedish born opera singer, Jenny Lind. You may recall that the character Jenny Lind featured in the movie The Greatest Showman, where she sang the beautiful song “Never Enough” (https://youtu.be/kUkRoIMyqFo?si=YUHFZeT9h4ssaK53)

However, due to approaching severe weather (Force 10 gale) we are now racing straight for the shelter of Cambridge Bay.

Winds:

– 48–55 knots
– 55–63 mph
– 89–102 km/h
– 24.5–28.4 m/s

Waves:

– 29–41 ft

– 9–12.5 m

The problem with Cambridge Bay is the entry is very narrow and it’s difficult to get in esp. in a storm. So we have a small window to gain entry to the safety of the port.

How exciting! Hopefully a more interesting post for you guys later today.
