For the last couple of days we have been making circles off shore of St. Lawrence Island while we lighter. Lightering means a landing craft comes along side our barge while we are moving, and takes a load off. Then, the lighter load goes to the beach. They drive right up the beach to the only road and deliver the cargo. Most of this cargo is a new school in the form of lumber, steel beams and trussels.
Yesterday, we could see Russia which is less than 30 miles away. Today we are going ashore to see what there is to see, and maybe buy some native carvings.
