Island Jobs

Earlier in the week, a sunset walk led to the “free bridge” at the end of Stone Harbor. I’ve kayaked UNDER this bridge, but never walked completely OVER.

As we approached the bridge tender’s hut, a man stepped out to say hello.  He explained that the bridge is manned every day from 6am to 10pm; through October.  Yet, because that section of the channel needs dredging, very few large boats travel  by. The bridge tender said he has opened the bridge just 3 times this season during his shifts.

We chatted again for a few minutes on our walk back…I think he was so happy for the company!
