Synopsis
Join ICE BEAR in historic Lunenburg, Nova Scotia for the final leg home following our voyage north to Newfoundland. A 850-mile, nonstop ocean passage. After sailing south from French St. Pierre on Leg 9, we'll meet the new crew in Lunenburg and get ready for the final push back to home waters. Depending on the weather, we will either sail back to Annapolis via the Delaware Bay - C&D canal, or sail offshore to the southern entrance to the Chesapeake Bay and up to Annapolis from there.
