July 28 update: still plenty of ice encountered as boat prepares to enter "the Northwest Passage proper"

Tyhina

The sail across Disko on Monday kept me on my toes as the wind swung from south to south east to east to north east. Not an issue normally but as icebergs float along bits drop off and become bergy bits, these range in size from football to refrigerator size to the size of a car. It is the refrigerator and coffee table size bits that are a worry. They are hard to see and can make a fair dent or hole in the boat. Bergy bits normally drift off down wind of the iceberg, but as the wind had changed through the day, they were just all over the place and in 20 knots of breeze and a few white caps, difficult to see. All turned out fine though and I made it into Ilulissat dent free.

From here it's north and west. We wait for good weather and a good ice report to cross Baffin Bay and then we'll be into the Northwest Passage proper.
