Sheltering from a gale in Barter Island - polar bear territory

15/8/2013

There is a gale due in from the east tonight (15th August) so Dodo's Delight is heading for Barter Island to find shelter and a wifi signal but hopefully not polar bears.

Richard, Did you advise your 'ghost' writer what a GALE is? And why do you need a "ghost' writer? You are the person on the voyage - not a 'chost' writer - people want the real Northwest Passage - not pictures from google image - how about exercising your own fingers on your own keyboard?

Be safe

Doug, Thanks for your interest and your earlier e mails. Unless I have localised internet connections it is a lower cost for me to have the grateful help of someone else in the UK to update from e mails I send them. The same is true of images - mine will be sent when I have land based internet access, therefore if I send text and the blog is updated library photos may be used... and captioned as such. I appreciate all your comments, and critisim, but suggest that if you find this blog not to your fancy you look elsewhere to spend your time. Please don't take this any other way. We don't know one another and therefore I have no idea of your intentions. Yours Richard

Hi Richard and Co.

Hope all's well and the local weather is improving to allow you to make a move.

I have to think that as noted on the NWP2013 blog the comment that: 'Many people wait until they have to make a decision while others micro-manage daily on such a critical NW Passage' has to be a fair comment and as you are in the position of being the ones 'on the ground' at your location you can assess the immediate situation better than predictions from weather stations.

Looking forward to an update when you can!

Stay safe

Nick and Helena
