« Walking from Barrow to Browerville - subtle colors in a distant ocean snow flurry | Main | Shadow Me follows Savik Crew on the fall bowhead hunt »

From the Savik Boat: the Arctic Ocean on the Beaufort side of Point Barrow, this afternoon at 12:25 PM

I am too tired to write much of anything or even to attempt to explain why I am so tired - but, put in my place, you would be tired, too. Even so, it was grand to be out on the ocean again today - and unexpected, as I had believed we were all done - but, as you can see, here we are, at 12:25 PM, just a bit into the Beaufort Sea side of Nuvuk, or Point Barrow, where the Chukchi and Beaufort meet as one - and not an iceberg in sight. There were plenty of whales about, but just about all were gray whales, not bowheads.

This is not a black and white picture, by the way. It is color. It is how it looked.

And that's it for this post made on the seventh day of October in The Year of Our Lord, 2012.
