My first lesson learned in the north!
Today I took the dog outside today during low tide. While we were out enjoying the outside the plane flew directly over us. The dog thought?? that is was a very big bird (She loves to chase birds) and decided to chase the plane as it was coming in for a landing. Unfortunately I didn’t have our video camera with me, so I trekked back to the house to get it.
I came out and patiently waited for the plane to take off and hoping the dog would chase it again. It honestly was hilarious. While out there I always had my eye on the level of the water. It started to rain and the plane didn’t seem to be taking off anytime soon, so I decided to head back to the house. As soon as I turned around I discovered that the tide had started to come back in!! We are still waiting for our household effects so I have yet to receive my rubber boots. All I was wearing was running shoes. So I had to wade through mid-calf deep water!! Oops….Next time I will pay attention to the water level ALL around me!! I have attached a video of me traipsing through the water. Good thing I went back to get the video camera hey??!??!?!

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.

Well, I guess that answers one question I had about whether there was a tide where you are. How high is the tide?

Great video! How cold do you think the water was? Should I send you a pool thermometer?

La plus grande difference entre la maree haute et la maree basse est de 4.7 metres. Tu peux aller voir ici http://www.waterlevels.gc.ca/ pour savoir au jour le jour.
