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.

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.

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.

All while living in Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut. Read on to see what it's all about!
