The boy goes ahead with flag and all the whale needed for first community feed

I back up to where I left off day before yesterday and the boat trip to Nuiqsut from Cross Island. I took a lot of pictures with my "real cameras" but kept my iPhone in my pocket until we reached Prudhoe Bay's West Dock, where Kenny left us. Traditionally, before a successful crew returns home, a boy carrying the crew flag jumps on a boat loaded with enough whale to feed the entire community. Kenny had done so the day before along with George Sam as Isaiah drove the boat, but a sudden windstorm hit them just five miles from the island, began to fill the boat with water and turned them back. The Mayor and the City of Nuiqsut then agreed to charter a plane to fly Kenny and the whale portions from Prudhoe Bay's Deadhorse Airport to Nuiqsut. Just before he left West Dock for the 15 or 20 mile drive to the airport, a very serious Kenny posed with dad Eric, brother Sonny Boy and the flag he would carry to Nuiqsut.
