On the "Road" again...

Today was my boat finaly in the water again ... The boat has been on the floe, since November ... It was great to feel the air and go again....

The picture was taken near Kuummiut ... Look to the south east ...
Kuummiut in the background.............

Blue sky to the south and cloudy with snow to the east.........


Little Kuummiut in the big white world............



The ice is gone by Kuummiut ... There is still ice in the harbor......

A special day

I stood and looked out the window .. Then came many small speedboats sailing ... The men in the boats shot up in the air with their rifles ... I knew that this was something extraordinary ... So I rushed down to the port .. . There were many people who had had the same idea ...
The people from the village gathered around a single speedboat.............
A happy boy ... His name is Mataani ...

Here is the reason for the large assembly of people ... A walrus ....


Mataani was a very proud hunter ... It was he who shot ... Much walrus meat for humans and dogs ... And there was joy everywhere ... Man is a part of the cycle of nature ... This was a welcome gift ...

Something I can look forward to....

Ice will disappear soon and my boat will finally float on the water again .... I also yearn to go again ... Soon, the inlet being filled with the small fish called capelin. In Greenlandic named "Ammassat" ... There are so many fish that you can just shovels them up in the boat ....

On a sunny day....

During the night between Friday and Saturday was a very cold and windy night ... Saturday morning we would have had a ski competition at school, but we had to cancel because of the weather ... Saturday at noon the weather was better, and I went for a walk out to the boat....
Our Russian friends left us last Thursday ... They would on an expedition in the mountains north of Kuummiut ... We expect them back in Kuummiut 9th or 10th of April.......
Наши российские друзья покинули нас в прошлый четверг ... вы бы на экспедицию в горах к северу от Kuummiut ... Мы надеемся, что они еще в Kuummiut 9 или 10 Апрель...

Kuummiut ... it still blows on the mountain peaks....
The storm had broken the ice........

View to the west ... Fish factory in the background ..


Silence after the storm............



"At the end of the road".....
