Sequent to yesterdays post

The name of the vessel is the Avataq out of Montreal; she carries freight in the sea lift to ports north of Nain.

I know that this type of vessel would not be suitable for Labrador ports on regular runs, but it sure has other advantages over what service we have now.
Not the least being reasonably new equipment across the board.

This vessel is a self contained supply vessel serving ports that have no docks and where the tides go out a long way at low tide.
It carries small barges, tug boats and loaders equipped with fork lifts.
All the freight is well boxed or in containers, except for all the vehicles on top of the containers that is.
I think it is food for thought for Nunatsiavut Government. Labrador customers could avoid all the road transport to Newfoundland and into Goose Bay. Middle men could be eliminated, at least the piddling little shits in Goose Bay.
Get the goods straight from larger suppliers down Montreal way, ship direct to Northern Labrador is the way to go IMO.

I know there are problems with the service for some customers up north, from what I have seen I think they would be minor compared to what we get from the people who run our shipping and the wholesalers in Goose Bay.
The laughable part of all this is the power brokers in Goose Bay have designs on competing with this already established service to the north. Some think trucking into Goose Bay then loading for ports into Nunavut via Northern Labrador would be viable. Dream on Dave Hunt.

It seems that the Community Government, along with the Recreation Department and others plan some sort of do for the victorious Husky sports team.
It is scheduled for some time this week.

I have garnered some more info on grandson’s medals, only drabs and drabs. Gold for best overall male athlete, gold for monkey dance [traditional Inuit event], silver for table tennis, silver for some sort of running event, still more drabs to come.

By the by, we have some white stuff falling this AM.

Not as bad as the south coast, seems the ferry from Blanc Sablon to St. Barb could not dock on the Island portion last evening, there was a tanker at the dock who would not move to allow the ferry to dock, so ferry had to return to the mainland. WTF goes on with this crowd who run the ferry, to my knowledge all vessels bow to the ferry schedule [pun intended].

Then things were held up due to high winds [hello Kyle]. The phones and radio lines are lit up with unhappy campers down that way this morning.
