Another warm one yesterday, up to 23 art the house.

Most of the day was a busy one at the dock.

Tinnies getting ready to leave, long liners being loaded for Torngat park and another with supplies for archeologists dig just outside Nain and the Dutch being unloaded/loaded.

There is even some movement at the fish plant.

Four of the tinnies [at right] a few hours prior to their departure for communities in Nunavik.

Later in the afternoon all was a lot quieter and the dock looked bare after all had left.


This 28 footer was sent back to the manufacturer.
The owners drove her to Nain from the Island portion. On the way it was established that the boat was way underpowered and had a very disconcerting tippy habit dispute having a good amount of concrete in the bottom of hull.

I watched her come into the dock under speed, it looked like a giant metal beluga whale in the distance.

Word is that it was a sort of experiment by the builders.
My neophyte instincts tell me that the planing hull under an obvious displacement looking upper structure combined with outboards is not a very good fit.
A displacement hull with an inboard motor would probably work best, but I am sure that is not what the owner was looking for.
