Who's in the what now? Yes, the Ungava Cup. It's going on right now, right here in Salluit. It's a senior men's tournament, with each of the towns considered part of the Ungava Bay coast sending a team. Of what I've seen so far, it's not much better than your basic beer league games, except for the fact that the arena is packed, the atmosphere is electric, and this is obviously taken about as seriously as if it were the Stanley Cup itself. One positive thing about it, is that the town is crawling with folks from surrounding towns, and the sales are going through the roof.
Speaking of sales, with the guy going missing last weekend, the search and rescue section of the hunter's support group, were very quick to come in on Tuesday to buy themselves a ski-doo. They weren't too pleased with the fact that they had to borrow machines to do their search. They bought one now, and are planning to come back for another one once they raise more funds. Good for me.
Rory made it back home on Tuesday. It took him three days to make a one day trip. Only in the arctic, would that be considered normal.
We have a guest for the next two days, as head office has sent out a technician to work on all of our slush machines, food prepping equipment, and a few other odds and ends. As a result, I'm also doing some hosting duties. So, that's it for now.
Stay tuned.
