The Outpost goes national

June 8, 2011

Outpost Update: The globe and mail (one of Canada's national newspapers) looked to the Outpost for insight one of the top breaking stories in the news this week... we broke it first a couple of days ago on THE BLOG...

To follow up the RCMP arrived to do a dive for the missing/deceased person and inspect the boat of the victim thats currently tied up to our dock...

Hi fella's, if you're looking for the Starbucks its just down the street! Four of them are staying with us tonight after a rough 8 hour ride in from Masset on the lovely Lindsay...

NIL Lindsay, did you have an old boyfriend in the RCMP that still pines for you?

Since we've been somewhat on our own for the last week, all the action attracted the interest of the OP start up crew...

For interest sake heres a few shots of the boat...

We feel she's haunted because ever since the Coast Guard tied her up on the heli dock things have been going wrong; the water system faltered, the gennies shut down, the pressure washer sprung 3 leaks, the guide shack burst two pipes, the wind picked up and gusted over 40 knots, the boat itself ripped off the heli dock cleats and swung wildly like she was possessed...and we almost lost her to the shore. She bounces the dock around like a heavy sail in the wind and fights against her lines like an elephant tied to a tree. Its clear she's not happy and I'll rest easier when she's gone and replaced with our fleet of bright, happy whalers.

Speaking of the happy times we tuned up some of the new staff last night on an Outpost favorite...

The first KRUD game of 2011 took place last night and the results are on the clipboard...another close second for Kaili.

Things are starting to look summer ready here...

...although you'd never know its summer by the weather.
