I spoke with Graham Fri. am.. If the barge has in fact left today great because we came very,very close to not having one at all. The barge copany's manager up there was all set to shut the operation down for winterThurs. but some quick actions by John, saved the day a bargiging brass from I think it was Calgary overruled the guy and told him to pick up our sample. Apparrently the small craft warning should not affect the barge but then I suppose it really depends on how bad it really gets.Snowfield has everyone ready to load the sample and lets just hope they get back to HayRiver quickly. Would be nice to see them in sometime Monday.
