Sometimes I feel like the ugly kid at school that always seems to be a day behind everyone one else. I’ve been reading a lot of blogs over the past month that ships are arriving in their communities. Everything from fuel ships to barges.

While Etienne and I were out looking at the icebergs a couple weeks ago (see here). I noticed that my left foot was a little wet.

A friend of mine is up visiting for the week. We spent this evening driving around and showing her the sights. She must be a good luck charm because ever since she got here, only good things have been happening. Read more…

Today we took advantage of the nice weather and low tide. Most of the ice has left the bay leaving behind only a few huge pieces. We took the dog and camera out with us to try and take a few pictures.

When we first got here, we were driving around and I noticed a grave that was placed in a strange place. It’s behind the Naja Isabelle Home, sort of beside the water treatment plant. There is a large gravestone and a little white fence all around. There are no other graves beside it, and it is away from any residential area. Read more…

The other night, Etienne and I were out on our nightly walk with the dog and I asked him what he thought Cisco would do if she ever caught one of the many things she so loves to chase! (Birds, rabbit, siksik, etc) Read more…

Us
The above photo is me and her. You probably had it all figured out anyways. We are about to live a once in a lifetime experience, The Great White Canadian Arctic. We have decided to create this blog to keep our friends, families and curious strangers abreast of our adventures. I'm sure a few misadventures as well. All while living in Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut. Read on to see what it's all about!

Oh! And by the way, this is Cisco, our dog. Even though she likes to puke a lot, she's still part of the family and will partake in our adventure to the North. She'll be sure to keep us on our toes and keep the polar bears at bay! She's also good for a few laughs in between leg humping sessions. We still haven't figured out how to stop that...
Thank you for a great year (or half year in our case) of blogging.
