Better Weather
Well here at Dryad the weather is bit better. Of course we are about a 25 minute chopper ride from the Bluff. So things are really coming to life here. Even their dog he is a sweetie. But the other day you would never know that he had a hip surgery. Like our dogs he goes out every weather ahead of me. Usually very slowly but this one morning it was like having him shot out of a gun. And no way would he come!!! My husband noticed that we had two white tail deer on station and he was running down the beach after them and you would have never known he had anything wrong with the hip. He finally headed back and to say the least we where not happy with him. Yet interestingly he was walking like his hip was bad yea right.
I must say that the vessels we see here are lot more than at the Bluff as well. This morning we had one go by that I am expecting a call on at some point that it sunk or in trouble. It was well loaded he might make it but in a heavy sea look out. As part of our job we do notice stuff like that and I kept a note on it's name and time it went by here.
I guess I never say what a mess it was getting here we went from coming by chopper with food to ferry, to float plane with no food. A few days ahead,, not a few days ahead it was a real dogs breakfast. But in the end we made it as planned. Weather of course plays a big part of our life on the lights and getting places. And as usual there is no plans made for what if,, or to even let us know what is happening. Most of what we hear is from someone calling in on the open line which all the lights can hear. Or someone gets and email and the msn messangers are ringing I bet every where letting each other know what we have heard. Since most of us up here have Sat internet it has made life so easy now and allows us connections with the outside world and able to order stuff and more. Even what is happening with other lights and even in the main office as well.
Well it is time for a weather and then maybe a wee walk and finish laundry. Yes we have to do all the things we would do in town.. and no housecleaners out here to hire..so one must do it your self.. One thing I just might get when we are back in town a housecleaner.. hummmmmm
