Actually everyone left Devon Island and we were all very happy to leave. Although I have to say I did tear up thinking abut want a wonderful, beautiful, challenging place the camp was for the last month.
I was woken up this morning about 7:15. I broke my alarm clock early yesterday morning and I didn't have to cook breakfast (cold cereal and oatmeal) this morning.
We called Resolute Bay at 8:00 ish and were told it was foggy with high winds. Check in again about 9:00 things still bad. Scheduled call for1:00 resulting in fears that we would only get 1 plane out today I would probably be sleeping on the Island at least 1 more night :( . It wasn't very encouraging but Polar shelve ( the plane company) said they would get back to us in 45 minutes. (I took nap). Final camp meeting 2:00: Great news two planes being sent out 15 or so minutes apart leaving Resolute in 30/45 minutes. So we quickly finished the camp close down. took everything to the airport and waited.
I'll post more (with photos) tonight or in the morning. Just wanted everyone to know I made it safely back to something resembling civilization.
I'm totally exhausted but looking forward to a meal cooked by som6ne else and a bath.
