A Long Cold Walk

Walking out to our First Air 737 flight from Rankin Inlet back to Winnipeg en route home to Vancouver on Monday afternoon.

You can’t tell from this photo, but it’s about minus 5 degrees C with the wind blowing 50 to 60 km. an hour.  By the time I got to the plane, my fingers were frozen.

We had a great time working with incredibly talented film makers from Nunavut.

Can’t wait to go back…

Straight

That’s Gabriola Island in the low distances, with Vancouver Island behind it.  A wonderfully clear fall afternoon – hard to believe it’s 24 nautical miles across there – looks like you could reach out and touch that ferry bound for Nanaimo.
