Lancaster

They got out just in time. Resolute is freezing in behind them.(M) Its shortlived, thin new ice. The worst kind to a small boat.
The system centered above Ellesmere has swung down around to the behind the Berri. Winds should be W and SW. Storm warning to the south. Lancaster and Baffin should be OK. Ice in the center of Baffin is down to two small holdouts. (And lots of big bergs)
