The beginning of our trip…..
Tuesday morning we all met at the school, got dressed, picked the kayak that you wanted to use and headed down to the ocean to begin our long journey.
What I saw this morning
I woke up this morning to let the dog out to do her morning “business” and saw this…….
Our latest purchase
Today we finally received the one parcel we have been most anxiously waiting to arrive!! Welcome our new Aerogarden. (more…)
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.
Hondas, Fishing and Picnicing…..
Today we had really good weather, so a few of us loaded up onto our honda’s and drove out to a couple hundred meters off “the end of the road”. We spent most of our afternoon there fishing and relaxing. Pete and Father Greg caught a total of 9 fish…. 6 Landlocked Arctic Char and 2 Trout and 1 that Pete wasn’t able to hold onto….The lucky bugger got away!! Afterwards, we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. It was a really good afternoon.
Pictures from around town.
The weather finally cooperated today allowing us to drive around town and take a few pictures. I know that everyone back home has been anxiously awaiting pictures from where we now live. Hope you enjoy.
Howling winds…..
I am pleased to announce that the rest of our luggage arrived yeseterday!!
The dog approves!
So last night we took Cisco outside to check things out. We didn’t have to go far as the Hudson’s Bay is right outside our back door. She seemed to love the ability to run around with no fence and to be able to play in the water…..
Our new home
I don’t have a whole lot to write, but I figured a lot of people have been waiting patiently for some pictures….

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.
