High Winds = Sunk Boats

High winds overnight combined with a high tide spelt doom for five boats in the Inlet.

 

Three of the sunk boats are to the left.  The green boat was being hauled out after breaking lose and getting beached.  Doesn't look to have been damaged to bad.

One more boat sunk close to the Aarluk. 

 

Sunk Boat

We went to the store today and noticed one of the boats only had the nose still sticking out of the water.   Apparently it belongs to the Mayor of Cape Dorset.  The photos below were taken from our house.  I'm really missing my big zoom lens. 

Good thing the anchor and buoy held the boat in place.

A couple of guys to the rescuer.  The water is very rough at the moment. There were lots of white caps on the Inlet today.

Towing the boat back to shore.  The boat should be fine but the motor might not like the salt water.

Waves go Boom!

Last wave photo for a bit but with the weather we've been having in Cape Dorset they have been great.

Obsessed With The Waves.

I know there has been several photos of water on the blog last couple of weeks but there has only been one good day of weather during that time to go exploring and take photos.

There will be some more variety soon. 

Fog and Water

It was worth going out the other night just to see the large surf crashing to shore at the park.  The fog meant I had to go into the stupid zone to get the photos.  The fog has currently lifted from Cape Dorset but word is it will roll back in later tonight.  Hope there are still big waves coming in.

The water was spraying about 6 meters into the air at this spot.

Spent a lot of time just watching the large waves crashing in.

The waves were huge!
