We had some visitors to town yesterday. The HMCS Goose Bay and the u.s.coat guard cutter somethingorother {actually it is the Alder}.Both are on their way to Nunavut for operation Nanook.
First ashore were some Canadian rangers off the Goose Bay, they were met by Nain Canadian Rangers and given a tour of town.
Then contingents from the two crews came ashore for a bit of a look see.
The town was relatively quite for a Saturday, except for some rowdy group of"YES" supporters later in the day that is, but by then the visitors had left.
Actually it was only one rowdy person in the group, but it is amazing how one persons action reflects badly on the rest.

Nice pictures of the HMCS Goose bay and the Coast Guard crew. Does this sort of training excersise happen every year?
It seems Operation Nanook goes ahead in one fashion or the other in Nunavut each year.
Not sure of the exact reason for dropping in on Nain, I assume it was a courtesy visit between the Canadian Rangers on board the Goose Bay and Local Canadian Rangers.
The rest of the crews just did walking tours around Nain.
Siutik put on a display for some of them outside the craft shop, she has no shame but the tourists love it.
