No ice here as we approach the Dolphin and Union Strait that will lead us to the eastern Arctic. It has been blowing hard today up to 30 knots, but with the wind from our back so Pangaea has been surfing happily along towards the east. Whales, seals and birds have been the only life we have seen since leaving Tuktoyaktuk. We are still waiting to see polar bears but with no ice around we have little chance of seeing them.
