Assorted pics from down the dock over weekend and Monday.

The dog is Pitsik, the local dog adopted by operators of Wanderbird last year.




The yacht is from Maryland USA and the long liner is from Quebec heading for Nunavik for an experimental fishery. Seems every body and their dog are doing experimental fisheries except in Nunatsiavut.




And the dock is bare.

The dock is Nain is the place to be during the balmy days of summer. It’s the place to people watch, catch the cool breeze and generally chew the fat.

It was hopping there the last several days for sure.

The dock was blocked with one ketch anchored off Tuesday and evening. There was a barge and tug at the ro-ro ramp offloading building materials. Then a local boat, ‘sprite of the Torngat”. Then the Wanderbird, who had returned to town with a engine cooling problem. Then the yacht from Maryland. On the outside where two ocean going tugs refueling, then the long liner heading to Nunavik and the barge belonging to the tugs out in harbor.

Bundle in with this the local boats and fishers coming in with their catch for the fish plant.

So going down this morning it looked almost devoid of any activity, just the local boat and the barge STILL offloading the building material.

The handling of freight up here always reminds me of those old Bogart movies set in some third world jungle state [without the jungle].

It got up over 25 yesterday, not so hot yet today but the wind has dropped so we won’t be spending much idle time down the dock if it keeps like this.
