From Milky Bay..Woo Hoo!
Hey All! Check the latest from Team Sweetwater!
Its a short call, due to the fact that they just got off the water, and conservation of battery power is prudent at this time.
Here's where they are......
Looks like things are looking great. Team Sweetwater is well-fed and in great spirits!

So what's their final destination now? Glad to hear they're having good weather. It was snowing a lot in Grise and Resolute the past few days.

Mark, great job as we've become accustomed to. How many miles/km per day are they getting on the trip?

Great to hear them again, Mark, thanks so much for keeping on top of the updates and thanks bundles for the map of where they are. It's very exciting to see their progress. I wish them all the best and am praying for continued good weather and calm seas.

Hey all. I wanted to respond to some of your questions if I could...
Lyn: First off, thanks for listening. I hope what I said in the recording didn't sound negative. I knew I might get tagged on it. You're right that more people are watching than commenting, and the team knows that and appreciates it. I certainly hope that everyone that is watching will post once or twice. Stay tuned!
Nancy: They might very well have snow as we speak. The weather reports were calling for snow as of our last conversation. As far as their final destination, that would be their call. My moderately educated guess would be that they are slowly making their way back. But don't quote me.
Mike: I don't know how many miles per day they're getting, I'm not getting a lot of specifics. I know a couple team members have GPS's. At this point you're gettin' what I'm gettin'. My idea with the phone calls was everyone would hear directly from the team, as I do. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for keeping us posted Mark. Hellos and well wishes to the team - hope the weather holds for them; glad to hear the team is doing well, spirits sound high. As for the Great White North itself it all sounds so amazing and majestic.
