exploring we will go....

We arrived at low tide...so that meant we had to get out and walk---over very wet, slimy, slippery rocks...and stay away from the MUD because you might sink it it........ it was a pretty 'sketchy' time...at first I was afraid in my first 5mins I'd fall and get covered in mud from head to toe.....BUT I am happy to report that did not happen! I was pretty excited when I finally made it to the TOP of a rock.. that was above the tide line!

...here's another rock were we stopped to have a bit of a picnic lunch..... From another view.... our picnic spot!

Markus loves to boulder and climb....and we had fun berry picking while he did some exploring/climbing...(photos and blog to follow about the berries-- tomorrow stay tuned)

...here we are in front of Usuvaluk Mountain... This means "Big Penis" in Inuktitut...

Thank you Markus for snapping this photo! (and for letting me pose with your camera!)

When we started to leave... the tide was coming in.... the boat was able to get ALOT closer---(see the rock in the top right corner...we were dropped off on the FAR side of it... and in the 2 hours of our exploring the water was coming in..at highest tide that rock will probably be under water!)...tides are really cool!

...leaving....and you might wonder what those 'spots' that are blurrey well they are mosquitoes....at the end of our time on the island---it got to be way bad... like too many to count... (will show funny shots of that----in a blog sometime this week!) stay tuned!
