On guard.

Santa looks like getting in today, not the seniors Santa but every bodies Santa.

This is just a training run as Santa will be on an Air Labrador charter [his deer are still in the adjistment paddock] and will visit Natuashish as well.

I took these photographs Friday afternoon, as this is very early days it gives one an idea of the pressures that will come into play on the dock by the end of winter.

The tide is on the wane here, the ski doo at the right of bottom picture belongs to the guy who was out testing the ice thickness. he made it back to shore OK, that part of the ice was formed earlier than just to the left of his machine.

Holey reindeer droppings, its -36 wind chill out there. Mr. Weather man got that one right for sure.
After all it is the first day of winter, and the shortest day to boot so things can only get better from now on, right?
