I arrived in Cape Dorset today.... before it got too dark I wandered around (with all the people from the cruise ship)...

(you can see the snow coming from across the water!)

...at the look out!..

Yep--that's the SAME ship...I'm convinced it's stalking me--from Pang...then Kimmirut and now Cape Dorset! (this shouldn't affect the rest of my travel-- they are heading to Kujjuaaq and then back to where they all call home!)

In other news from Cape Dorset...there was a Polar Bear around town lately-- they had to 'scare' it away from town last night and this morning... and the Bow Head whale hunt has started. This year there are 3 tags (or license to kill 3 animals)...that have been given to hunt the Bow Heads... they have been split up into 3 communities across Nunavut. Cape Dorset has one, Rankin Inlet and Kugaaruk have the other two tags! It's a 'controlled' hunt that the whole community takes part in... I'm hoping that it is 'caught' while I am here... because that would be an amazing experience... I'll keep you posted!!

Welcome! I may have seen you walking around the house since I see you made it to the monument beside the detachment. We're the duplex across the street, right hand side.
I'll see you soon!
I don't live to far from the momument too.
If you have been to the Northern store look back towards the road and you will see a long red hamlet building, a pink building with no windows and then the next brown one on the same side of the road is mine.
Welcolm to Dorset.
Oh and hope you got a good nights rest.
