A few more shots from the Bonds visit yesterdayFirst one was taken from the airstrip set on zoom 130mm.
Second shot taken near the Community Government office.
Third shot is of some of the 'senior' members of the community leaving the hall after their 'shots' [H1Ni].
The red caped people are members of the Canadian Rangers who were helping out with traffic and a courtesy van for people who needed it.
Someone came to the blog after searching for Siutik, our dog is aptly named.
As a pup fresh off the streets she was all skin and bone and ears. Then she developed into a strong willed older pup who would rather challenge than listen. Now as a mature 3 year old she listens and does as asked most times for me, but at all times for Fran, especially in the house.
Here is a good example, and very typical, of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing within Labrador Coastal Marine.
Monday I was talking to friend x in Goose Bay, he mentioned he was waiting for the Bond to return from Nain so he and his truck could catch it to Cartwright where he had some urgent work to do.
Yesterday I was down the dock and friend y mentioned that he tried to ship freight to Goose Bay on the Bond but was told that the Bond was going straight to Lewisport then back to Goose Bay via Cartwright.
So I called friend x and relayed this information. Friend x called LCM and they confirmed that indeed the next sailing of the Bond south from Goose Bay would most likely be this coming Friday.
So I was shocked and surprised [not really] to see this mornings sailing of LCM.

I see you have a sprinkling of snow on the ground. I suppose it will stay till the spring now.
That Robert Bond is a big ship.... a lot bigger than the ones you usually get in the harbour?
Holy Cow! Is the Astron that slow? Or just hard to unload? Or both?
We lost some snow to melting, any snow from now on is better if it hangs around for insulation.
She is by far the largest, too big for our needs; it is just a stop gap due to the regular freight vessel being inadequate [see below].
To pathfinder; Astron has major issues that no one wants to talk about. Propulsion is one, containers overboard is another, hence it never travels in any seas or wind of late, and then it can’t dock in any winds, appalling it is.
