Island Escapades

07/06/2023

I can relate ! Lol 😂

The notorious Porlier Pass, a narrow 1 km by 2 km passage located within Gulf of Georgia Strait, is to this day considered to be a dangerous route for boats to take. The pass is full of rocks, tides of 4 - 9 speed knots, and whirling eddies; mariners are advised to avoid it. Shown here in 1948 is the Island Tug and Barge Co.'s Chief Burrard running aground. She was salvaged from this mishap.

We welcome you to come by and experience the entirely new BEACHSiDE. Kayaks, Canoes, Paddle Boards or Hobie Cats, rentals and tours, now with organic specialty drinks before you leave or perhaps upon your arrival. We want to help you feel at-ease and clear-minded, sitting by the beach on the spacious patio, enjoying the music, fresh air and beachside life.

Well, even a Buddha such as Jikan finds BEACHSiDE “A lively and Lazy Place to Be” 😊

This day was so special and symbolic. Thank you to Linda, Anna, Sarah, Olivia and Lucas and Johanna, Michael, Jordan, Jayda, Jim, Chris, Leland, Russ and Jeremy for intense last minute much preparations. We are almost open!

The move from our home to BEACHSiDE was very eventful and rewarding tonight! Thank you Taiju, Nolan, Mike, Max, Chris, Jim, Jordan, Meredith, Lucas, Matteo and Nick for moving such a HEAVY bronze figure from the heart of Lynn Demers!
