We arrived at the airport around 1425 yesterday afternoon (it’s 0128 right now) for a 1600 flight. Checked in and through security, the dog in her kennel and out to be loaded onto the plane. Boarding comes, everything is going smooth until the voice comes over the intercom. Engine problems.. de-plane and wait.
By the time we finally get into Churchill it’s midnight. The poor pup has been stuck in her kennel for almost 10 hours and I’m beat. We landed into the beginning of a storm, the fog obscuring the ground until just before the wheels touched down and the whole plane seemed to come up onto one wheel for a moment.
We’re up for a 9 day summer shoot of polar bears, belugas and maybe some eagles and foxes with our new piece of kit, the Lumix GH5. Last year was very lucrative for summer polar bears with lots of action in the water. It’s still early this season and hopefully it picks back up again. The rain is meant to stop in the morning. When it does it’s out to the cabin to pick up the guiding kit and then go for a scout to see what’s around.
