My opinion it was easier to go through the Panama Canal, it is more uncomfortable to go that cold route, regards.

would a leaf blower be an effective snow removal tool?

Welcome to the Northwest! We are blessed with snow even in lower latitudes, but it is often very wet, and can freeze into ice quickly. Getting the stuff off as soon as possible is best, if you can. Buying a couple of sturdy push brooms might be better than getting a regular snow shovel. Scraping snow off of your windows will scratch them quickly, but you want to keep them clear. I noticed that you had very poor visibility when motoring after the snow fall. You may be used to dry snow and low humidity in the Arctic of Finland, but the northeastern Pacific is damp and foggy.
Staying warm enough is hard without using fuel, or bundling up in a sleeping bag. Motoring allows the use of engine heat with the modification that you made, but getting your diesel heater working may be worth anchoring or tying up for a few days to get it right. Trying to fix things like that while underway is asking for trouble.
I am surprised that the center board is buoyant, as it will rise up out of the water, which defeats its purpose. It should not be heavy, but should stay all the way down if not restrained by the control ropes, unless you are not planning on sailing.
I am curious, do you use any kind of ground tackle, like anchors, to pull the boat off when you want to get off the beach, or do you avoid grounding hard enough to need that? I see a dinghy motor, but I don't see your dinghy, so I imagine it is inflatable. If you have one, that is.
I remember that one of your previous boats was made to be grounded, and this boat also looks like it designed for grounding, with the flat bottom. But the rudder is not protected like on the other boat, so shallow water is dangerous to the steering gear.
I certainly respect your determination to live a seafaring life, and in the Arctic, no less. Is it all for skiing, or are there other attractions?
You must be planning for a year or more to make it through the Northwest Passage, all the way to Greenland. And there won't be many services in the Arctic Ocean.
Tides are always a big factor in navigating the Inside Passage, and having to fight to make headway is discouraging. And the storms can be pretty nasty even in the protected waters. Have fun, and good luck!

A few years ago I discovered your channel and that inspired me to get a sailboat
I didn't get one yet but some months later I got a gig on a packer ( commercial fishing ) and did a few seasons up and down the bc coast
It's funny to see you going around places ive been on that boat now
Fair winds!
