description
Letty Harbour est un charmant ancien comptoir de la Hudson’s Bay Company, aujourd’hui abandonné.
C’est un excellent petit mouillage, protégé sur 360°. Le fond de vase est de bonne tenue et la glace a la réputation de ne pas y entrer. En frappant des aussières à terre, on peut y mouiller deux bateaux.
Le bassin du mouillage est relativement dégagé, avec des profondeurs comprises entre 3,5 et 6 mètres.
L’approche peut se faire par le nord ou par le sud. La cartographie étant incomplète, l’utilisation d’une image satellite constitue une aide appréciable.
Par le nord, on entre entre l’île Racing et l’île Burrow.
Par le sud, on passe entre le sud de l’île Burrow sud et la péninsule Parry, en franchissant un seuil de 6 mètres. Il faut ensuite bien contourner le haut-fond par le nord.
Attention aux ours polaires : ils ne sont jamais très loin.

Want to know how the wind score works? Then you should read this explanation.
The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated -126 minutes ago (Saturday 22 August 06:15 PM). The next night score shows you the worst hour between 22:00 and 08:00 the next night.

The safe wind directions for this harbour has been decided by an algorithm, based on how elevated the land around the harbour is. It's mostly correct, but sometimes the underlying data about elevation levels is not good enough to make correct decisions. It's a great help to other if you can validate or adjust the safe wind directions. You can see the data used by the algorithm to decide the safe wind directions by clicking here.
