Why the North West Passage cruise is now possible

Here is a LINK to a PBS show about polar bears in the Beaufort Sea, but it is about more than that. It was very informative, if you're interested.

Also, I have been adding news links about this to an older post and I probably shouldn't have just kept going back and editing and updating it but I did so there. You can revisit that post if you're interested in further news on the subject.

We are 52 days from sailing and less than that before departure for Anchorage. Getting excited!

At home on the farm

Clay and his tomato farm

We have been glad to stay home for a while as it gives Clay time to farm twice a day! He goes out at least twice every day of the week since mid-April to water and check his tomato farm. Today he started his harvest. He is pleased. He wanted to pick that reddest tomato yesterday and I convinced him to wait and in that 24 hours, the tomato split! He is still planning to eat it and says he won't wait like that again.
