August 1. Up room after 6:00
& breakfast at 6:30. Weather dense
but higher ceiling than yesterday.
However, during breakfast, fog
came back in, although with
some visibility, so Humphrey
decided to try Bernard River.
Took off at 8:00 a., with such
poor visibility, went up west
wards of Banks I. at 200-300 ft.
alt., in stead of overland, to be
sure of reaching right river.
Weather alternately worse & better -
but essentially better than Sacha
Harbour. Before take off, gave
Davidson 2 rolls of Kodachrome
as slight recompense for his
courtesy & hospitality - with so
much bad weather this summer
I am long on film. Reached
Bernard River mouth just before
