Hi Al,
The 101 came along by
mistake
due my fumble-finger technique, and the same reason
for 2 of 100!
The sign of the
PUFFIN/"SeaParrot" is on the wall of the barracks on
the jetty now
having 4-bunks-cabins for rent, incl. cooking
facilities. Toilets and
showers are accross the yard in another
building.
Sea Bird Safari-tickets
are sold
on the boat at a handsome USD 60/pers. for 2,5
hours. Well, they got to
take their income in a few summer-weeks, and if the
condition is bleak
and wet very few people will come, so there by
the Polar
Sea summers are not taken for granted.
Being privileged to
visit
Finnmark frequently through a period of about 14
years, I
once asked a guy how their summer had been, and
the answer:
"Well, I really cannot tell, though I believe
it was on a Tuesday,
but unfortunately just then I was in the toilet!"
Short summers at
times.
Just a few years back
this
place(Gjesvær) had no road. The only way in/out
was by
boat!
And yes it's Ken
jr. looking into the midnight-sun setting
towards the horizon
- and before coming that far going
up again, and yes
he is sulking for a beer!
Best W-regards Ken
the Older.
