Here is one of the cruising stories I brought back from Canada.

Good Story, Chuck.

Reminds me of the "resort" we stayed at coming back from Ocean Falls. It
was just north of Rivers Inlet, and it was called Finn Bay Resort. But it
was a dock, and a house and a garden, and whenever they needed money they
felled a few trees. There was also a floating "Rec-room" area - a large
roof over picnic tables, and in the center, a huge BBQ made by cutting a
large steel bouy in half (we didn't ask where they got the bouy from...)

And on the barby were shrimps. Lots of them. More in a huge bowl behind
us. And if they needed more, they pulled one of the traps up from the dock
and poured it onto the grille. Oh, and beer. Lots of it.

One guy there used to do wooden boat repairs in Vancouver, but kinda ran
out of work, then he discovered how his wife really felt about "for richer
or for poorer". Now he's In Charge of making sure the sun comes up over
there and goes down over there (and he's doing a Damnfine job of it! )

I don't think I've been in a more laid-back place in my life. Aaaahhhhh!!!
