The Gypsy Life has had a small re fit since its arrival in the port of Nain. Hunkered in at a remote site winterizing has taken place with the installation of a wood stove in the stern section as well as…….well it looks like a stockade but lets just call it a carnivore barrier for want of a better description.
It sure has a lot of people looking at it and scratching their heads, especially if they don’t know the intentions of the owners.
Later:
There was some really nice looking asparagus in Northern this morning, fresh and the size of my index finger, looked very inviting.
At $10:09 for maybe a meal and a half Fran “said we don’t like them that much”. So it was snap peas instead at $3:45 for about two meals worth.

Do you think these folks are going to be ok? I have to admire the determination they show, but wintering in that boat in heavy ice? Counting on sticks to keep out the hungry critters? Sounds like a soon to be read about disaster film.
The wife says you should e-mail the story to Shepard Smith at Fox news. Who has a fascination with bears and odd human endeavors. It would really set him off.-lol He's quite comical then.
Time will tell how they do. They will be on/near a fairly well travelled ski doo route and will have their own ski doo for toing and throwing.
Good idea about Fox, it's done, see if any bits.
I'm glad they will be on a ski doo route. I hope Fox responds. It would be a great human interest story.
Where exactly do they plan on spending the winter? Is it at the dock or in a more secluded locale? :)
It seems like they will over towards Webb’s Bay, about 15 K from here as crow flies.

Hi Brian!

Because of this I want ask you for your kind permission to publish one of the photos posted on your blog of „Gipsy Life“. You would of course be credited and if you are interested I could also send you a copy of the issue as soon as it's out.
Kind regards,

OK to publish a photograph of Gypsy Life in BOOTE.
