Hello fellow Expeditioners. I hope Spring 2014 finds you well and the Winter was not too harsh. It seemed like a very long winter this year.

The Fara Heim team took a several month break from field work after the Hudson Bay trip. Executing expeditions takes a lot of preparation and planning!!

For the next phase of our fieldwork we are working to create a larger team for the return to Hudson Bay and the Arctic. The search for the warships of 1697 is a mission that has to be completed and we are very close to acquiring the transportation resources we need to search for further signs of Norse exploration in Northern Canada.

In March, David and Mackenzie became members of The Explorers Club. They attended the annual meetings and dinner held in New York City. The meetings were held at the Explorers Club headquarters and the dinner was held at the Waldorf Astoria. Jeff Bezos of Amazon and Elon Musk of Tesla Motors/SpaceX were given awards. Buzz Aldrin was one of the dinner hosts and the attendees included the Prince of Bhutan, Richard Garriott de Cayeux (paid to fly to space out of his own pocket), and a host of other explorers. It was quite a motivational evening with the dinner and appetizers including many exotic foods.

The annual meetings were also very interesting as David and Mackenzie attended the New Members event. Several Norwegians were becoming new members for their archaeological research in Greenland. We discussed at length what they saw on the south and east sides of Greendland. Mackenzie met people who spent years living and working in Antarctica. David connected with Jim Enterline again and discussed the HF data and voice communication network available via satellites.
