It was a gray whale rubbing on the beach, man that just scared the bejeebers out of me. One Sunday I was relaxing against some logs on the beach, reading a book and just enjoying the day, when all of a sudden, not more than 5 meters from me, the ocean exploded and something big came bursting out from the calm waters. We would not log on Sunday and that was my day to just hang out at the beach. Grey Whale, Nootka Island, BC, Photo By The N.O.A.A. If the yarder operator was in a mood, he would sometimes stop half ways across and just dunk you in. If the tide was low we could walk across to where we were logging and if the tide was high, we would grab a log with a choker and the yarder operator would haul us across. We had a wooden tree and an old Madill yarder. Our shack was pulled up on the beach and was not level, not level at all. We would fly into Plumper Harbor and then take a boat out to our very small 5 man camp. In the 70s, I worked for Art Mangles out of Plumper Harbor, we were logging further up the island, past friendly cove at the lagoon.
