October 7th	Showers
	Plus thunder & lightning

Most the rain winds missed us Monday

	Here is their map
	The white dot is present meteorological mast for measuring wind speeds etc HaidaLink cable 1 (meant to avoid park – that’s why comes ashore at Tlell) Mainland cable 3 & 4 comes ashore via Edye passage nd then over to Port Ed

	Series of Panels with consultation sheet to fill out at end
	NaiKun had several experts and numerous others to show locals around and answer questions For me the key ‘answer’ was about the ‘Mainland cable’ --- if this is phase 1 – what will happen fro the subsequent phases --- Answer was a new cable will have to be laid to mainland

Lots of ‘undecided yets’ – thus not sure if monopod or tripod wind mills – or maybe a ‘sunken platform foundation’ etc
	Sorry about picture focus – I did not check – I am told everything is on their web site – but I was unable to load it --- see http://www.naikun.ca Mainland cable (and presumably all cables) will be buried 2 meters below surface I was told

	Next Steps
	See the Timeline below

	Time Line
	Submission commercial project by November Env Assessment by 2009 – decided by fall 20009 -- This Danish project is said to be on NaiKun web site as a PDF – ditto the Terms of Reference booklet for Naikun project

	Wind atlas
	See the Canadian Site http://www.windatlas.ca/en/maps.php I have re- pasted the map to compare with Wind Atlas potential

See my previous pages on NaiKun Their earlier presentation at SQCRD meeting And my 1^st look at Environmental consequences – from which image right --- note the ‘Edge’ at 1 and the non flat bottom at 2 ----	Buried Cable is my biggest concern– and every phase will repeat laying another cable!!
	Yellow line was my earlier ‘guess’ at cable route
