From our entrance to the Labrador Coast until we exit the Arctic Archipelago, Ice will be a factor in our daily lives. Sarah Sarah intends to follow these basic rules for ice navigation:
- Never enter an area of strong currents when pack ice may be present.
- Never enter an area of over 3/10 ice (30% sea coverage).
- Never enter an area of pack ice without a clear and open exit path.
- Never navigate in such a way that you run the risk of getting trapped between the ice and the land.
- Never enter an area of pack ice if there is a risk that the wind will get up before you can reach shelter or clear water.
- Never enter a strait or channel if the other end is, or could be before you finish the transit, blocked with ice.
