I have been hiding out on Mayne island for a couple months now, doing odd carpentry and construction work, anything I can pick up. Swinging an axe here, demolition there. In this time I've met a bunch of people learned a few building tricks and I've gotten pretty damp. But I think I must have picked the wrong island at this time.
Although about 1000 people stick it out here all year, I've only counted about 10 of them in their mid-twenties. I never thought I would feel as isolated as I did out there and thats not why I came out west. So i am returning to family and friends, a few more kliks on the Van and a pretty good snapshot of Mayne island life, and sore but stronger hands. The trip back will be highlighted by a couple creative artists and builders and definately many more photos. Stay tuned and I hope to see you soon...
