Summer Saturday in the void.

Looks like we are in for some real summer like weather next week. This unsettled stuff has been too prolonged.
Lots activity around town with archeologist getting ready to go up to Green Island in Okak Bay, the ever present geologist looking for their eldorado, heavy trucks rumbling down the narrow roads to and from whatever they are working on.

I spent a good deal of time in the kitchen baking bread and pies but managed to get out several times, once to a ‘moving sale’ and a late walk around town with Fran and some guests.
Another guest took off for the day fishing and musseling; she came back with some char and one rock cod and a good hit of Labrador air and a sense of how humble we all really are. Her guide gave a good botany lesson too I am told.

The ‘green team’ had a ‘community’ clean up along the shore line, only a handful of people turned up to help, even with free food on the offing after the clean up. The poor showing is not the fault of the ‘green team’, more like apathy, good weather, busy with other stuff. But the shore line looks a lot better with quite a bit of garbage removed.

Things are gearing up for this year’s activity in the Torngat National Park, have spoken to some locals who will be ‘employed’ up their, not a bad way to spend a month or so, doing what you love and getting paid.

The mv Astron made it in yesterday, 2 week turn around, not bad all things considered.
