It's starting to get cold. Today we had little mini icicles on the railings - and it snowed!

We spent two days last week in very heavy ice. It was intense, exhilarating, gorgeous and exhausting all at once.

We are currently anchored and waiting in a safe harbor for the ice conditions to improve.

It's incredibly hard to believe that it's August. It seems like everyday feels a little more like winter. I looked outside my window today and thought, 'I really hope we're out of here by mid-september'.

I've been posting a lot of photos to Instagram but, I realize not all you lovelies can see them.

Here's a mini look at what my Instagram feed is looking like!

I loaded these all from my phone - while I cringe to complain about the wifi (because...hello! awesome!) - our connection is slow and spotty. Please excuse the lack of formatting!
