POTW: Best time for Seals
Nov 21, 2024
This week’s POTW marks our first ever from Nunavut! Patiq Netser of Coral Harbour on Southampton Island.
Our Harbour finally starting to freeze up. Few boats rushed down to Fraggle Rock area for sealing. Best spot this time of year for seals.
Patiq tells us about the boat:
This Yacht is I believe from Ontario. An elder, in his late 70s purchased it with his family, trucked it to Winnipeg then by rail to Churchill, Manitoba. He then took the scheduled flight to Winnipeg as we no longer have connections to Churchill, Manitoba. Spent a couple nights in Winnipeg to catch the 1st available flight while his son hopped on the train. From Churchill they traveled through the west coast of Kivalliq region, first to Arviat then to Rankin Inlet. Waited a few nights in Rankin due to weather. She made it to her final destination Coral Harbour, the very tip of Hudson’s Bay late last month. They had engine troubles so I helped them. Turned out to be clogged fuel filters. She is a beauty.
Where’s Coral Harbour?
