Oi, you look'n at me? Nar, we be wandering what she be out there.


Good news, GD completed her long solo/solo flight yesterday, no details yet, called her mom while out shopping. Everybody anxious for her to finely get home, whenever that will be.

Seeing that it's summer, and seeing that many tourists ask if the Northern Lights can be seen this time of year, and seeing that we have a neutron monitor and a magnetometer in town I was wondering if Nain played a role in this scientific news, and no, you cant see the Northern Lights very well this time of year. Too much daylight I guess.

I for one am anxious to hear what this is all about. To date the provincial program plays a minor role in supplying wholesome, nutritious foods at a reasonable cost to the people of the Labrador coast [compared to the Federal all year round program]. Perhaps it is some good news culminating out of all those meetings last year.

Of those wandering ‘what she be out there’, well that is the Wanderbird. She arrived about midnight on Thursday.
Not long after I took the photo the captain and Karen came ashore. We had a bit of a chat then gave them a quick essentials tour of the town, both were a little anxious about the availability of fresh produce for their first trip north. There anxiousness was justified, but with some creative cooking skills I’m sure they will get by.
The 12 guests arrived by plane and spent the night in the Atsanik to join the ship on the morrow [today] for departure.
