On Saturday we learned more than we ever wanted to know about scat - or as my brother Gary would say, caca. We examined do-do from polar bears, caribou and lemmings. This was our first day on Labrador. Because of the misty windy weather, we had to travel by zodiac four miles through choppy seas to reach the shore. This was the first test for my plastic pants ad instead of wearing them, I kept them in my backpack and got soaking wet. The ride on the zodiac was further enhanced by our crazy Scottish driver, Kelvin. In the afternoon, we tried to make a zodiac landing on one of the Button Islands, but we spotted polar bears so we could not. Instead, we stayed aboard the ship and listened to lectures on Arctic botany and bear behavior.

Testing rain pants whilst keeping them in your pack makes total sense. It is key to determining the "pre-state", that is, what happens when you don't wear the pants. Good luck with part 2 of the test: going ashore with the pants watching satellite TV back in your stateroom.
