Random Passage Video

Still having some difficulty with the after effects from Chemo but I do get out a bit more often. I enjoy hiking and catching a few rabbits at times.

DJ3 Practice

Starting to get out more now after my side effects from the Cancer has slowly weaned off somewhat. A Drone was gifted to me last year by an American friend and I have been trying to use it but my fingers are giving me a bit of trouble. With practice I should be able to use it good enough,so by mid June I will go and see if I can shoot a few Iceberg Videos.

The Phantom DJ3 Advanced seems to be a great Quad Copter.

October Trip to Bonne Bay. GoPro Footage of the Struggle and some still shots.

3 Months after Chemo and still not sure if I'm Cancer free. Side effects of the Chemo still lingers but I am starting to get out more. A little Video I made from a morning where we participated in the Recreational Fishery here.

Just a quick blog to let people know why I'm not active here lately. Diagnosed with Stage 2 Colon Cancer,had surgery and now doing Chemo.  Round 3 of 12 just completed.

Just another Pan of Toutons. A short Video of a hike we took along our Seashore. We stopped to cook a pan of Toutons on an open fire and the Grandkids enjoyed the outing.This part of our Seashore at Cape Ray may soon see changes. A Subsea Cable,180-kilometers long will send power from Cape Ray in southwestern Newfoundland to Lingan, N.S., in Cape Breton.

Ottawa researcher’s firing derails Viking project:

 

OTTAWA — This should be the best of times for Pat Sutherland. November’s issue of National Geographic magazine and a documentary airing Thursday night on CBC’s The Nature of Things both highlight research the Ottawa archeologist has been doing in the Canadian Arctic for the past dozen years that could fundamentally alter our understanding of our early history.
If Sutherland is right, Norse seafarers — popularly known as Vikings — built an outpost on Baffin Island, now called Nanook, centuries before Columbus blundered on to North America. Moreover, there’s evidence they traded with the Dorset, the Arctic’s ancient, now-vanished inhabitants, for as many as 400 years.
”That’s incredible,” says Andrew Gregg, who wrote, directed and produced The Norse: An Arctic Mystery, the CBC documentary that recounts Sutherland’s findings. “That rewrites all the history books.” More on this Story/Cover up,whatever?,Click here >>>>

September Walk

Cape Ray Barrens,September 2012.

A few Photos from our little walk today. One of the warmest Septembers that I can remember.

A place the locals call Northwest Cove. Seems like everything that floats in the Gulf of St. Lawrence ends up there.

 Tried out the Canoe yesterday. First run in it and decided something calm and easy. Turned out to be a pretty decent ride and day.

Another kick in the Teeth for our small Community,Cape Ray. The Titanic's distress signal was first heard at Cape Ray, Newfoundland.Yet when the Government hands out $200,000.00 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s sinking our History is forgotten. Surely we could of been given some of that Funding to errect a small Display of our Communities Role in that Event.

CBC Article:

$200K from province to mark Titanic anniversary

The Newfoundland and Labrador government is spending more than $200,000 as part of commemorations for the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s sinking.
The money will go to the Cape Race-Portugal Cove South heritage group, which will use the money to expand the wireless station at Cape Race and hold commemoration events this coming weekend.
Rural Development Minister Keith Hutchings announced the money while unveiling a new Titanic exhibit at Cape Race Tuesday.
Hutchings says the eyes of the world are once again focused on the province this year, as Cape Race receives attention for the role it played during the Titanic disaster.
"The increased international media attention and visitor traffic generated from these activities will have a significant and long-lasting economic impact on local businesses, especially those in the hospitality sector," Hutchings said.
The Marconi wireless station at Cape Race received the distress signal from the Titanic on April 14, 1912.
