The folks are out in their fine summer regalia finely. Up to 23 yesterday, could end up close to that today. Then of course we have the constant threat of cloudy foggy cooler stuff on the horizon.
Mealyman made a comment challenging the 'fairness' of my previous post. I could go into a long winded muse about what is fair when it comes to all sorts of issues facing the people of the Labrador coast, especially Governments attitudes towards marine shipping, and not just this present government. The negative attitude has been in place ever since the province took over responsibility for shipping from the Feds and Marine Atlantic. but I wont.
Suffice to say that after CIA-Nunatsiavut declaring at 3.59pm on July 8th that the Dutch Runner was anchored off Black Tickle due to high winds they then update: July 8th, 10:57pm
MV Dutch Runner Information
ON TIME
Friday, July 8th -departed Black Tickle 6:30 pm

Now that is a pretty fast docking unload and depart in high winds in it? Especially considering the Runners other handicaps. That is if she did dock and unload.

Maybe, maybe not, but Mealyman's essential point is perfectly valid: don't pre-judge the supposed weather in Black Tickle by the actual observations in Cartwright. It is quite frequent that the weather in Cartwright isn't even the same as it is in Pack's Harbour, just 12 miles away, or other places on the islands or around the bay.
