Back to the North!

This Saturday the second part of the Northern adventure starts again! The trip up on the icebreaker that I was looking very forward to has been replaced with a flight from Montreal, yuck! The bright part is I get to see another part of Canada that a small fraction of the population will ever see! I have the website for the town Kuujjiaq if you want more information and pictures of this Village. I hear that the bar in the hotel is very big and I will have to scope it out when I get there.

Once we get there we'll have to wait for the icebreaker to arrive on station in Ungava Bay and get people on the ground before we make the two hour flight by helicopter to Killinek. I'll have my camera ready for any wildlife on the ride up as there was many Polar Bear sightings last year.

So the part that I look forward to is the sail back to Iqaluit via Frobisher Bay, I hope that the weather is good because I'll bring a lawn chair this time and camp out on the bow of the ship while we transit the Bay!

Shave Chronicles...

... and a few other topics unrelated to hair! Day 30 and still no shave!

So it is Sunday up here in Resolute and the weather has changed for the worst. A snow storm has popped up and the snow is drifting in the road that was just plowed out the day before ( see video of us driving out of the receiver site through 1 meter snow drifts in a full size pick up truck!). The weather this year has been colder than the past couple of years and it has made working outside miserable. I'm looking forward to going home this Tues. and warming up for a few weeks before I'm up North again at the end of June.

So the Sens finally won a game! Just to let you know it is just as sweet to see them win up here as it is down South! Even up here there are some Leaf fans and they hate the Sens just as much as their Southern kin! I think that even as much as I hate the beard that I have going the Sens have kept winning while I have it, lets hope that the Sens can win the cup so I can shave it off! call me superstitious but the only time that the Sens have lost is when I trim, no more!

So what am I going to do when I get back, well of course the Lady takes priority in the attention list. then a nice big dinner and drinks! Then say fellow to the family and go home and ride the Motorcycle! Oh and sleep in! after 31 days on the road I deserve it!

Well here is to the weather being sunny and warm on my way down South!
