Today’s journal is the National Geographic version. Lots of pictures and captions. We were out listening to a speaker discuss underwater archaeology sites in the area as well as remote operated vehicles to search some of them. After that, Dave’s celebratory last dinner at the local sushi and Japanese restaurant. He will certainly be missed, he has made numerous contributions during his 10+ weeks here.
The Barge Is Here!!
Goods come in but once a year. Want a new car? Order it and have it shipped up on the barge. Washer? Same thing.
The Polar Bear is Here!!
We had hoped to see a bear and we got that wish. Isaac had to scare it away with a few shotgun blasts but other than that, bears and humans got along just fine.
Waves and Water Are Here!!
Waves and water certainly contributed to the day up here in Barrow. Winds consistently blowing around 25 mph, a few gust got up above 35 mph. We weren’t the only ones paying attention to the weather and the waves.
Well, hopefully this gives you an overview of what a typical day is like in Barrow. Stay tuned for what tomorrow will bring.
