La balle de viande, vegitables rôti avec juice de caribou.



Well yesterday was a washout and today looking the same. One of those nasty easterly flows that do not flow fast enough.

Occasionally I receive private correspondence from people commenting on what I write here. People do not want their names used for one reason or another, and that is OK. I appreciate that they take the time to contact me, usually with encouraging words.
I received one of those on the weekend, even one now and again sort of gives one a boost.

I know many do not agree with what I have to say and would not mind any comments that are constructive criticisms.


The department of transport has announced a delay in marine shipping into Goose Bay due to ice conditions.
The Sir Robert Bond, due to leave Lewisport on Friday the 5th is now due to sail June 12th. The Northern Ranger due to depart June 8th will now depart a week later as well.

At this time it is not known if the first northern run by the Ranger will be effected.

Then there is a story of some Nain children who took a trip down to the Island last month. It is from the Nor'Wester Newspaper.

Hmmm, to get to the Nain kids story you go to the Nor'wester page, click on search at the top right, click on anytime then enter 'Nain hockey players'

The rumor mill is that both vessels inflatable life rafts had not been recertified.

Duno about the life rafts but looking at the ice charts they seem to have a legit reason to be worried about that.
Having said that it would not be the first time things have not been up to snuff by first sailing.
