Today's adventure - nav issues from ME to NS and clearing into Greenland

 Today's navigation question was departure times from Saco, ME and resulting arrival time in Lunenburg, NS.

Here's my thoughts:

* add 1 hr. to transit from dock to FWB

Then questions about how to clear into Greenland. After researching, it appears pretty laid back. Passport and full Covid shots proof. 

Todays ice chart shows Strait of Belle Isle is clear for navigation. Hopefully the ice coming down the west coast of Labrador doesn't close up the strait again. The iceburgs are on the move southward.


 

It's gonna get cold!
