Back at theBluff
Well as always it was and interersting to fly with the CCG air. I arrived in Port Hardy on the 9th of Oct to be told that the flight on the 10th would not be going. But that is not unusual as there was high winds and lots of rain.
So I planned my next day on that information. Wrong should have learned after all these yrs to expect the unexpected. I had a call at 9:30 am on the 10th saying that I was going to the Bluff. To say the least that was unexpected did not even know there was a chopper in the North. But the pilot was good and gave me time to dress and get ready for the flight. Then drove to the airport and after having to put my own car away in the pouring rain and the swimming pool (ok not really) but could have been, and covered in rust and soaked I got on the chopper.
We delivered groceries to a few stations and then landed at one and hoped that we could carry on but that there would no more stops. It was straight to the Bluff. It was a bumpy ride for me and was feeling a bit ill. So was pleased to hear the pilot say that we would be landing in 10 mins. I know that the pilot I had was one of the best and he did not disappoint landed that chopper here in high winds and got me home and them back to Port Hardy.
No fresh groceries but still it is good to be home here with the roar of the water fall and dogs who have missed me and husband who is pleased that he does not have to eat his own cooking. He is a good cook but still nice to have someone other than the dogs to chat to as they do not really answer back. Well it is time for me to do a few things today and get on with fixing up the house even though he has done a great job. So I shall say bye for today from my wee office here at the Bluff.
