So Y P. What do you and the dockside crew thru the winter?
Build hot rods in heated garages?
How long is the harbor frozen in?

Yes on the hotrods, actually we never stop building Hot Rods. But as far as the shipping, if and when we get a business deal, we get icebreakers to open the harbour up. The harbour Pilot will board at an ice free harbour, like Port aux Basques or Sydney or Halifax, then he might go as far as Quebec city to disembark. His pilot boat has to be taken out of the water as soon as ice starts, of course.
Normal freeze up usually early Jan to mid March. This year a bit earlier. We have 3 more ships, at least so I'll post a few pics when the icebreakers come to town. Thanks for asking.
