Boat Day 12 Beechey Island

Beechey Island, unbelievably desolate tragic and magnificent

Beechey Island was today’s first adventure. After Beechey Island, I watched a pod of Beluga whales. They really are white. No pictures. We are now sailing to some bird rock. And at 5pm we walruses can take a zodiac to get closer to the rock. And the birds. Sounds like a good chance to get shit on. I may or may not go.

It’s been a fine day and I think I am going to pass on the bird trip. It’s going to leave after 5:30 and really by then my day is winding down. Not to mention it’s windy and I am a wimp.
