He can be sure that it was wild-caught and never frozen 😉

It turns out that Nicolas Petit’s team went on strike on the sea ice and refused to move. It’s the wind. When it blows in their faces, they lay down with their backs to the wind and cover their noses with their tails. You have to have a weather leader like Silver to move that team, or do what Sarah Stokey did and become the lead dog. Wade Marrs ran Safety to Nome, about 22 miles, in 2 hours 38 minutes. It took Sarah 16 hours 58 minutes.

I had to abdicate my viewing for the past few days, life intervened again, and it was great to be able to come here for the highlights!

At the price of today’s salmon, the award that Pete Kaiser received is worth a lot more than one would think at first. That’s probably close to $750 of salmon!

I don’t think I was even aware that there was a “Most Improved Musher” award. lol. I must have missed that one before.

The link you posted for Blair’s children’s book was fun. She’s an interesting person, and she should have some great stories come out of this trip.
