I just got a job on the Gulf Islands.

[tiedye]

My cousin is on his way to Pender Island to work at the Port Browning Resort and I guess he mentioned that I'd be interested in working. They just called me today asking if I wanted to start work as soon as I can get down there with free staff accommodations and all that jazz. Goodbye Fort Nelson.

Stoked. Has anyone spent much time on Pender? Anything to tell?

[Cdn_Brdr]

Pender Island is beautiful man. Quiet and the people are great... the whole tiny community everyone knows everyone sort of thing.

I haven't been in a couple years but its been a summertime escape for me for a long time. I'm sure you'll enjoy it there.

I can't forsee myself having anything less than a hell of a time down there. Any recommendations, Shawn? I'll be cooking during the day, Monday to Friday, and will have the evenings and weekends to myself.

Dude, I've spent tons and tons of time on Pender Island! My Uncle is the Captain of the N. Pender Fire Department and my Grandparents used to live in Port Washington.

It's really really nice there. The Southern half is where you'll find Bedwell Harbour and all the expensive bits.

If you want a wild ride (last I checked) head down Clam Bay Road. It's an old busted up road but good for kicks. Lots of little coves and plenty of nature to wander around. You can totally get yourself a bag of Mushrooms and go for a jaunt around.

Might say I'm actually kind of jealous.

And so thus began Mr.Chadwicks adventures on Bender Island. :D

[lildonkey]

Congrats dude

[tiedye]

I'll keep that in mind, Erik. Maybe I'll grab a scooter and bomb down that road some time.

What I'm really looking forward to is a bottle of wine and a sunset on the beach. It will be amazing.

[Ms.Tarantula]

Congratulations, Chadwick.

As always, I wish you the best.

I was just on Pender Island..and that resort your talking about..well it's not really a resort..lol. It's just a little cafe/pub with a pool and some cabins.

Personally I could never live there..theres like 3 stores in that whole town. It really is beautiful up there though! You need a boat!!

The little cafe down by the ferry terminal serves the BEST food ever.

My friends mom lives up there and it only takes us 45 mins to get there (by boat) so maybe i'll come visit you!!!

This is the view from the cabin on his mothers property!

Congrats man you are going to love it, Browning is fun times. I'll have to come for a visit..

[stabmyhead]

Congrats Chadwick, surfing and skimming? GET WELL AND GET BETTER BECAUSE YOU NEED TO ROCK OUT. Seriously, fix that shit up.

I think this is well diserving of a creepy emoticon :)

[decypher]

Hey Chad my close friend Kate worked there 2 summers ago. She is on Hornby island working there this summer.

She may have even worked the same resort as you though, i'll send her an e-mail

Pretty much she said it was easy living. Docks, water, cool people, and a lot of alcohol. She had a blast and put all her tips into a spot and at the end of the summer had a huge nest-egg. You're going to have a great time.

[tiedye]

Kam, it's exactly like she said. Such a great time. I work 7am-2pm five days a week and spend my evenings drinking local wine on the beach or jamming with the locals. Our morning dishwasher is an aspiring shaman that always has something interesting to talk about on shift; not to mention all the naturally growing plants you could possibly imagine. I'm looking forward to the Peruvian Torch Cactus.

Charlene... there's a piano here with your name on it should you ever feel inclined.

Be wary of the obese messanger pigeons foomping outside your window.
I might just have to mosey on down..
adventures are delicious. (especially with pianos)

I know EXACTLY who you are talking about. I saw him hotboxing a car near the ferries and then saw him at the cafe!

[tiedye]

Different dishwasher, I'd imagine. He came and left since I've been here, unless you were on the island within the last week and didn't say hello.
