..the Sea Lift Saga....

Mum and I have had another GREAT day!!! Here we are from the campground in town... in the distance is my house!!! The sun finally came out and shone...but I think the high was around 14C or so!!!!I have been car and house sitting for friends while they are in the south on holidays...in the fall they are moving to Iqaluit...soooo today I drove their car down to the beach to put on the ship! It was so nice having wheels for the last few weeks---Since Pang doesn't have a 'deep-sea harbour'...they ship stays anchored out in the middle of the fjord...and they load the goods...onto this barge..then tug boat it over! (it's quite a FUN process to watch....especially if you've never seen it happen before!) Once it gets to the beach...the front end loaders?(i'll have to check with Samuel *my 3yr old nephew* if that's what they are called?!) take everything OFF and stack it in areas with 'like' things....its a pretty fast and awesomely orchestrated event... with three massive front end loaders..

One of the front end loaders.... on the door it had a label "Anna"... it made me chuckle....and then I realized that the ship is called ANNA....(one of the men working from the ship.. had it on his life jacket!)

...driving the car into the C-Can....(not sure if that's SEA-Can...or See-can or C-can...) LOL ...taking it for a little ride......

...loading it onto the barge... to take to the ship.. which will take it to Montreal...and then back again to Iqaluit!!! :)

...off it goes!!! :)

*until next time--sorry for ALL the posts today!!! YIKES!! i've gone post happy!!!!
