And keep in mind, Iqaluit is by far the most "modern" of the communities in this part of the arctic.<BR/><BR/>I think it would take place nearby and not involve dredging the main bay. For example, I'm pretty sure that oil is not brought ashore by barge. So there must be an area nearby where oil is off-loaded in some way. I believe that area would likely be more developed. They're saying it's possible by 2009 but, well, I wouldn't hold my breath.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-1129081241538785622005-10-11T21:40:00.000-04:002005-10-11T21:40:00.000-04:00What an amazing process they have to go throuigh w...What an amazing process they have to go throuigh with goods shipped by boat!<BR/><BR/>Logisitcs in the north is never straightforward is it? <BR/><BR/>Would a deep water port be at a slightly-removed location or involve more dredging nearby?Liam O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896680241546846557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-1128953449489236732005-10-10T10:10:00.000-04:002005-10-10T10:10:00.000-04:00Alas, you must not have read the previous post. Th...Alas, you must not have read the previous post. The grocery company, for whatever reason, put cans of tomatoes in that box. The kids that cracked the crate open looking for booze must have thought they hit the mother lode.<BR/><BR/>We brought most of our booze up with us in the airplane - two bottles of whiskey (17-year-old Jamieson's, 18-year-old Johnny Walker Gold), two bottles of vodka and three bottles of rum. Oh, we did have a couple of wine kits sent up, though.<BR/><BR/>So we're ready when you come up to visit. I figure that'll hold you for a couple of days.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-1128928090796272952005-10-10T03:08:00.000-04:002005-10-10T03:08:00.000-04:00Did I just spot a box of Grand Marnier in that loa...Did I just spot a box of Grand Marnier in that load Craig?
