Rotor and Tailplane

Wake up nice a fresh and get to breakfast before Peter but after the Fosters.  Picked up my laundry from the front desk which included an extra pair of socks (they were Peter's).   After breakfast we take some photos with the Fosters before Jen's picks us up.   In the tower we pay our dues and make our way to the helicopter.  The weather is a little foggy but good enough for a SVFR takeoff.  The fog is sea fog and the ice cap is clear. So we head off and climb towards the east.  The ice caps are around 8,500 ft high so me make a steady climb over yet more glaciers and icebergs.  Over the ice cap the light is harsh on the eyes and the horizon, though clear, can be confusing.  We have little depth perception so can never be 100% sure how high we are above the ground, we have to rely on our GPS data. About half way we lose contact with ATC and have to start making satellite calls to report ops normal.  It is also here that we intend to land at Dey3 or Sob Storey, an

Not much happens during the day, after breakfast I head back to my room for a snooze and some tv.  In the evening peter and Myself head into town and have beer at Daddy's before we are picked by Jens to have dinner at his house.  We met Jen's through Juergen at Ilulusut.   Jens house has a fabulous view over the bay.  We meet his wife who works as a pilot on the dash 8 for air Greenland.  Dinner is a BBQ were I have steak with some wine.  We have a really great evening and head back to our rooms at the Seaman's Hotel at 11:15 PM. 

Not a bad nights sleep and pancakes in the morning.  Unable to have a shower this morning, (well I could have but it would used up our hosts water) and had to do a number 2 in a bucket, they are not on any sewage.   Spent the morning pleasantly chatting to our hosts before walking down to helicopter for 10 am departure.  Goodbyes said we head south to Nuuk over the bay and pass some more icebergs.  The ice cap is to our left and clear turquoise water below. Mikel and Pamela are fascinating, lovely people, if a bit crazy in there adventures.  Hope to catch up them in the future, maybe at Old Trafford.   At Nuuk we will catch up with the Fosters who are flying from South Africa to Australia in a RV10.  They meet as at the Hotel as we arrive.  I pop into the "big city" to get a new hat, since I left mine at Ilulusut.  I also scope what is around, not much.   Peter arranges dinner w
