We arrived in Savoonga on Sunday. After a rather questionable flight (it was extremely foggy in SVA) and the other airline had cancelled their flight to SVA, our airline decided to fly us out. That was an adventure. We descended from the fog, completely blind, to finally see that we were flying about 25 feet above the sea. We flew low for about a mile before landing on the runway, with a very short stop. So we unpacked our stuff, got our boxes, and settled in for the next day. We are pretty well unpacked, which is good since we are expecting all those tubs of food and other items (emptied the suitcases to accommodate more important things like cheese).

Tuesday, I flew out of SVA to UNK. Again, it was foggy. The flight was a charter and made a couple of passes before it landed. The amazing thing was that it was perfectly clear at Gambell, the other town on the island. We crested the bluff, and the fog was gone and there was Gambell. Incredible.

Anyway, it’s dinner time.
