Our first winter here we were icefishing in October, but then last year the ocean was still open into November. We had a very late spring this year though and the Coppermine River did not break until early June, whereas the year before it was open in mid May. So I think the climate is just not predictable at all! I will say hi to the Hunter clan for you when they arrive!!<BR/><BR/>Hi Aida! Most of our pallets we dropped off ourselves once our rental vehicle got full when we were out shopping- so a lot of the pallets are really small. And I have lots of rubbermaids full of fabric for my sewing store that take up a lot of volume! Glad that you made it home!<BR/><BR/>Deiss- of course you can sneak onto the barge! Just package yourself up with enough supplies for 2 months and hide in a seacan!<BR/><BR/>kate- my store doesn't make a lot of profit; just enough to feed our carving habit!Matt, Kara, Hunter and Cavanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324456976588255233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29269999.post-79832957228253469612007-08-30T11:36:00.000-06:002007-08-30T11:36:00.000-06:00When I read this I realize we are pretty spoiled i...When I read this I realize we are pretty spoiled in Iqaluit. <BR/>I think it is awesome that you have your own business, by the way!Kate Novahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02922631587427699587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29269999.post-74904191995482124642007-08-29T17:14:00.000-06:002007-08-29T17:14:00.000-06:00Do you think they would notice if I snuck onto the...Do you think they would notice if I snuck onto the barge?deisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153316943427055898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29269999.post-58057428156710970822007-08-29T16:16:00.000-06:002007-08-29T16:16:00.000-06:00holy moly, 11 pellets?? ours are coming on sept 17...holy moly, 11 pellets?? ours are coming on sept 17 but we didnt spend that much on it, just stuff that we know would be a pain to buy and haul it up here.<BR/><BR/>we are finally home, went a little crazy shopping in NL but traveling with a kid seems to always be great. of course our baggage were overweight and instead of my calculation that we will be paying almost $500 on both airlines in regards to excess, we paid just under $200 so it was great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29269999.post-13897033704086798822007-08-29T14:32:00.000-06:002007-08-29T14:32:00.000-06:00Dear Kara, Mat and HunterWe keep hearing that the ...Dear Kara, Mat and Hunter<BR/><BR/>We keep hearing that the global warming is melting all the ice in the Arctic.
