Fog cleared yesterday afternoon allowing planes to get in. Bit of a crush at airstrip what with musicians and all their gear on an AirLab charter, regular passengers stepping around and over luggage and freight in the small cramped airport terminal.
But there is help in the winds, all that talk that takes place between all levels of government in closed door meeting will one day mean
Noah looks like he made it to Hebron, he will have company there what with Buddy Merkuratsuk and his family still there as summer care takers.
Down the dock it had the look of "end of summer was nigh", such as the summer was.
The people carrier was back from the Torngat Park with the first load of gear and summer employers.
Also docked were two sailing vessels on their way south. The sv Andante and sv Hannah had been sailing the waters north of Nain for about a month. Taking separate courses they meet at different locations, both traveled as fare north as Nachvak Fiord.
The fish plant is in close down mod now, they have stopped taking any fish and are now cleaning up and smoking char to fill some large orders.

Hi Brian. Thought that you might enjoy some info re Hurricane Irene and the computer forecasts that show it passing through your general area next Tue or Wed.
Pounds to peanuts it will track south of us, says I with fingers crossed.
Nice to hear from you again. I miss the cab driving story days, most likely almost as much as you do.
Hi Brian,
Always a poignant time of year wherever you are. Maybe even more so a little later on, when the boats are gone. What's that Harry Martin song that goes, "Now the harbour is empty, the boats have all gone. The dock is deserted and cold. A lonely old feeling..." something something . That's a killer. Out here on the west coast we had rain, and the mornings are cooler. Children preparing to start the big journey toward school.
That Noah is a real adventuresome spirit.
Nice to see the change in seasons, but it seems so fast. Temperatures are getting cooler by the day.
That smoked char sounds awfully good. Do the locals (i.e. YOU) get to taste the finished product before it's shipped out?
Old Tom had quite the send off yesterday, hear he had compliments from yourself OBT, possible meet soon in old dart, if Toms plans don't change abruptly.
Yes VP, we can purchase the product while plant is open, there must be some available down your way?
