OMG! You are my hero! What a trip to make. Great pictures Lady, thanks so much for taking the time to post all that.
Its just hard to wrap my head around the idea of 1600's people from Europe coming to places like that in sailboats looking for fur. Kinda like oil exploration companies nowadays I guess, but with out any helicopters, satellite communications, or Smartwool socks. What a place to live.
Very cool.
