We've sailed to the head of Chapell Inlet and can't find an outlet into Frobisher Bay. Some of us went ashore yesterday to explore the low tidal flats for an outlet, but without success. We had a nice little breeze this evening, so we decided to sail back up Chapell Inlet against the current. The wind picked up, and we took a reef before rounding the bend to the east. Our anchorage lies just ahead off our starboard bow. We needed this one to be a good anchorage, otherwise we would be headed for open water. As we tucked in, we noticed that we were not alone - sharing the harbor with us was a large polar bear. Not much we can do about it, so we settled down to a Mexican meal and a good anchor watch. That's a polar bear - you can tell we are trying to keep a prudent distance   Top of page
