View of the new store, still sitting on its barge but the barge is no longer floating; it is now inter-tidal. Skip Frucktinick's (sp?) ferro-cement sailboat is leaning against it.

File contains scanned copies of photographs donated by Jim Palmer for the Carrington Bay exhibit in 2009, depicting the community living in Carrington Bay in the 1970s and 1980s.
Jim Palmer and Jan Gemmel lived in a house on the west side of the log jam between Carrington Lagoon and Carrington Bay. Jim built the house at the property of John and Anna Gregg in Manson's Landing and relocated it onto pilings in Carrington Bay. Jim and Jan later fabricated steel pontoons for it. In 1985 the house was moved onto the floats and towed into Gorge Harbour by Bob Thompson with his boat "Sutil Chief".

Photograph of Doris Hope's house at left, and the new store that MacMillan Bloedel barged in to replace the old one that had burned down. The tug that towed it in is beside it.

Passengers getting off a boat at Jim Palmer and Jan Gemmel's float house: Gail Johnson and son Ryan at the bow, Pat Brown with her daughter Fawn, Jan Gemmel at the helm.
Gail lived with Alan Bent in a house on pilings, seen in the background. To the left is Jason & Kathy’s plastic A-frame boat shop; they lived in an old fisherman’s cabin next to it.
