Gone from Barrow .. ..

Whoosh – we left Barrow – May 1st of 2010 – We walked away from everything we owned.  Left everything to Lucille Leavitt and her Husband.
Tens of thousands of dollars in tools, equipment and materials.
 We left with just the clothes on our back. That  is all we took. GONE !!
Special thanks to:  X-Captain Leon Boyea [...]

The sad end of whaling.. ..

Spring whale hunting is over.. this year, for all practical purposes.
Barrow 3 small whales
Wainwright – No whales
Pt. Lay – One whale
Point Hope - Two whales    Omnicks & Oktolliks Crews

If you want your vehicle to start, then you best plug it [...]
