Wee bit of clearing.

The weather cleared a bit last evening, enough for some planes to get in, one an Air Inuit charter from Kuujjuaq, Nunavik taking two ministers from Nunatsiavut Government to a meeting of Inuit Tapiriit kanatami. Some people who had relatives in Nunavik were offered a ride over, not sure how many took up the offer.

Okalakatiget Society Nain staff and board members did not get out for their AGM in Postville yesterday, so they, along with others for Goose Bay got on the freight plane this morning, after the freight was off loaded of course.

Ice is still hugging the coast, so we wait for the first boat. The Nain area blue is surrounded by red B and orange F.

At one time it was a big deal, the first boat arrival, still is in a way, sort of marks the start of summer in a way. No band plays these days, just lots of people who go down to see here arrive.
