Mixed bag.

The mv Northern Ranger was in on time yesterday [12.30]. With the wind, and ice south of here, I thought it may be delayed.

She had a mixed bag of freight for the stores and residents. Not a lot of local passengers, I did notice at least six tourists.

She was also still at the dock 2 hours after schedule departure time, not sure the reason for that.

On the ice situation, it seems there are quite a lot of Icebergs around Makkovik area, some quite large. Tourism has a web sight up showing iceberg locations for tourists http://icebergfinder.com/iceberg-map.aspx I’m wondering why the Bergs around Makkovik are not listed on this sight. It could be that the Satellites are not asked to cover Northern Labrador; if that is so one must wonder why not. I have been trying to use contact info on the sight to ask those questions, but cant seem to get mail contact.
