January 9

1/09/08: Wednesday, 8:00 AM. 25 degrees, barometer up, predicting sun, wind calm. We have returned to a more winter like weather pattern, much more to my liking. The Island is clearly visible, no fog at all. The sunset was a peachy spectacular yesterday, the western sky all aglow.

John Thiel says he is very busy with dog sledding work, individuals and families who want to learn to mush. Sounds like a lot of fun, but thirty dogs are a whole lot of work.
