Eureka bound

Here we go again. I left Edmonton at 0600 on Tuesday for the airport. After the usual hassles at security the first part of the trip was underway. A 737 got me to Yellowknife at 1045. I checked in at the hotel and did the normal touristy stuff while waiting for the charter to leave Wednesday at 0800.

Ok, so, wheels up at 0800, be at the hanger by 0700 turned out to be a slight exaggeration. It was closer to wheels up at 1500 but that's pretty good for northern travel. The Dornier was loaded, all 5 passengers were there and away we went.

The first leg was 3 hours to Cambridge Bay for fuel.

the next leg was 2 hours to Resolute bay to drop off a dog, some supplies and to pick up 2 more people.

Back on the plane for the last 2 hours to Eureka.




It's the right Island.















Almost there!







We landed at about 2230 MDT. It's good to be back.
