Big changes due to wind

 

At 17:00 Monday I couldn’t get more than couple hundred yards from our dock, ice was candled and 6” thick. An hour later strong South winds had large chunks ice drifting past our dock, also 1/8” rain. Then during night the strong gusty North West wind picked up and by morning we were ice free to North..This picture is the day marker at Bald Island, from here I travelled North into Andrew Bay open water almost all way to Queer Island, the wind blew most night but has let up this morning, it’s currently-2c and snowing
