The forecast for light rain and the dreaded fog has moved in and could be here for awhile.
The trip to Hopedale is to attend the granddaughter high school graduation this Saturday.
My executive decision is a vow to help the province deal with the Governments projections of a power deficit in the medium to long term.
Yes by, we are going to forgo [at great sacrifice I might add] our morning toast. If Fran and I know she will, has an issue with this then she can contact the Dundergov with her concerns.
We may even think about reverting back to burning wood for heat and cooking, and converting over to candles for light. No bloody way am I going to do without the computer and the Internet though.
Here is the temporary web sight for the new operators of the
Listening to an interview with the head of the company this morning on
New flooring and re upholstered chairs in the lounge. Extended hours for the cafeteria, water and drinks available all hours, extra staff to accommodate the extra services, other upgrades to cabins and such.
One cause for concern: the guy mentioned that the newly upgraded engine [one of two] is still undergoing checks and balances while she is underway to Goose Bay, this has caused the arrival departure times to be revised on the first run. Hopefully all will be sorted out by the time the scheduled summer runs start operating.
And yes exsham; Fran will be extra careful in Hopedale.
For those who are interested in the arctic, a site that may intrigue you. The fog that moved in on them soon after departure from Newfoundland [see ships log] maybe the norm rather than not.

Tell Fran to watch out for big white furry things prowling the streets of Hopedale.
Meh. Toast made in one of them 'lectric rigs is just warm bread.
*Real* toast is made over coals.
(Having trouble logging in again today.)
WJM needs workshop on how to toast bread on the lectic thingy's from Fran.
Did you check you cookie settings? my trouble last week cleared up after I did.
fresh bread (especially the 'kisser' slice) toasted over a woodstove and then smeared with a huge dollup of real butter......thats the way my grandmother used to cook it, and I can even smell it now..........the good ole days!!!!!
When I was a child in UK we had a Rayburn (google it if you don't know what a Rayburn is) and always had toast speared on a toasting fork in front of the coals. And we always had butter on it, none of that fancy margerine stuff. I wonder what happened to that toasting fork???
Thanks for the link to the Arctic Whale Survey, I'll be checking their progress. I'm interested in following their story but it's not something I'd be brave enough to do myself, I like the comforts of home too much to spend a month on a tiny boat hacking my way though sea ice!
BTW, it was a year ago that you and Fran and I met in TO!
Wow, how time fly's, nice of you to remember. Weather is a contrast to whet we experienced in the following two months for sure.
Not sure if it was a Rayburn but my Nana had a coal coke stove too, plus a coke burning heater in the family room.
How toasting methods have changed, we had one of those two sided electric jobs, you had to watch them like a hawk to make sure it didn't over toast one side then turn it over when done.
Hey Brian. Fog eh? I thought that we would be leaving that here in Maine! Should be in Nain mid July. We looked at an AGA stove for the ship.Pardon the spelling but I think that it is similar to a Rayburn. -RM
With luck the fog should be lifted by mid July, and yes the Rayburn is much similar to the AGA.
