It was down to the dock this AM in the pre dawn light, or there would have been light but for the fog and the drizzle, and do you think the flies weren't bad?.

I had to drop off Karl and his son for a trip north to Hebron aboard the people carrier.

Karl had arrived yesterday on the Northern Ranger and had pre wrangled a return trip up to Hebron. Karl being a well known photographer in Germany can do these things.

The rest of the company aboard was crew, bear monitors, NG cultural staff and 4 free loaders from Newfoundland.

I think the main justification for the trip was to take safety supplies and other items for the Merkuratsuk family who will be stationed there for the remainder of the summer as care takers.

The safety equipment seemed to consist of water pumps and hoses; they lost one of the cabins to fire last year so that adds to reason.

The Murkuratsuk family was to leave on the Wanderbird a little latter in the day. The owners of this vessel volunteered to drop them off in Hebron on the Wanderbirds odyssey to Greenland and back.
