Today we went on another zodiac landing and Special Operations Boat(SOB) ride. There are two types of zodiac excursions- a zodiac landing and a zodiac cruise. On the landing you take a zodiac to land/shore and get off the zodiac and explore the area on foot. When you are finished you take the next zodiac back to the ship. On the cruise you get on the zodiac and cruise around the area and then it takes you back to the ship where you get off.

The SOB is very similar to the zodiac cruise but the SOB goes further and faster and has individual seats.

It was another beautiful day.

Dundas harbor is named Talluruti in Inuit. Talluruti means woman’s chin with tattoos. To me, this mountain matched the name
