Continuing on with the travails of the mv Dutch Runner.The accompanying photos show what the dock at Makkovik Nunatsiavut looks like as I write.
The DR on it's exclusive run into Makkovik from Goose Bay drooped off these two sea-cans.
If they are not moved by Tuesday then the mv Northern Ranger will have trouble lowering it's gang way and certainly will not be able to unload freight.
ON the very first run the DR left sea-cans on the dock but the Makkovik Inuit Community Government {MICHG dragged them off the dock and out of the way.
It is unknown if the MICG will come to the rescue again.
I sure hope that the MICG sends an invoice to CAI-Nunatsiavut Marine, and if there is any justice in the world they would also send a cease and desist order.You can see the ramp where Ro Ro vehicles unload, with no drop trailers on the DR then this can not be used.
I know some e mails of concern have gone to the president of NG and the local member for Makkovik.
As usual no response from the president and the local member sent a reply that he has passed the concerns on to NG and CAI. Submitted photos.

Wouldn't this be a perfect time for some enterprising souls to start up a few B&B's? Not only bring in tourist $$'s, but give the tourists a true taste of everyday Nain life.

Wow, greet site !
Yep Lynne, one would think there is an opportunity for a B&B.
There are pros and cons for any wishing to build one. Costs and logistics are two, is there enough potential year round traffic, constant weather delays yada yada.
But for anyone who likes meeting new people and inform people of the area and its people it would b an ideal small business.
