From The Lens Of Wendell "Codfish" Perry, And The "Blue Water Aviation Bissett" Aviation Files, Part 1.........

The freezing drizzle, freezing fog, 100 foot ceilings, and intermittent light snow and snow pellets continue. March weather in December. Unbelievable. It should be about -25*C at nights now. Anyways, I remembered I had some photos from the lens of Wendell Perry, as he usually carries his digital camera, and snaps some nice photos. Wendell flies Blue Water Aviation's C-185 C-GFVZ, Beaver C-FEYQ, and will be starting his Otter check-out in spring. Wendell was hired by the company a couple of years back, and has done a stellar job during the time he has been employed. He is usually based in Bissett, MB, at Blue Water's Sub-Base. In winter-time, he fishes for lobster off of the East Coast. I also had some photos from the computer files of Blue Water Aviation's Bissett Base. Without further delay, let's revisit the float season for a few minutes to relieve the winter-time depression caused by seeing the sun only once every 10 days! We need -20*C, NOT - 2*C!
