Hello from Labrador! Doing what we do best! Enjoying some frosty beverages and updating this blog from the Sir Robert Bond marine vessel on the way to Cartwright Labrador (overnight ferry).

We have reached Churchill Falls Labrador, halfway along the dirt Labrador highway between Labrador City and Goose Bay. Due to a significant vehicle problem (a long story to be published later) we are lacking sleep, food and some of our wits but we are only a half day behind schedule.
We have many people to thank [...]
