Left Nome, trying to enter Nelson Lagoon at Point Barrow soon! (Patreon)

Hello all, I'm just doing my night watch in incredibly beautiful weather!. We've now sailed around 450 nm since leaving Nome a few days ago, and our combination of luck and excellent timing have allowed us to sail in relatively easy downwind conditions the whole time! Reading other people's experiences of the passage I honestly would not have imagined you could have such good sailing weather here..

Everyone on board is doing good, our friends Kuutti and Juuso have joined us and have been great to sail with! Sohvi unfortunately has a bit of a cold and we're going to let her sleep through tonight without having to do a watch.

Here is a also quick video update of what's happening and how we're soon going to have our first encounter with the ice. If we get into the lagoon we then expect to be stuck there for at least a week (with the ice moving in on us) and I'll have a moment to go through the photos and write a longer update for you. Thanks a lot for the support once again!
