Five and counting.


It’s the fifth day of fog, drizzle, rain, yucky stuff like that. I believe that some people in the research field are a little peeved with the situation and instead of carrying on to the Torngat Park are making arrangements to return home, weather permitting.

The crew of the sloop Elskov, see left, [I believe this is one and the same] have no such thoughts, they will continue on to Saglak before turning around. Two of the crew will disembark though, while the other two carry on.
It was no surprise to hear that the two disembarking are from Main. What is it this year, every second person we talk to, and their dog, is from Main. I’m no conspiracy theorist but something seems to be afoot.
While at the dock yesterday Fran was speaking to a local gentleman in Inuktitut, Fran asked him "when do you thing this weather will clear". The guy responded "when the gulls stop being so happy".
