SOLD ~ 5th Wheel for Sale ~ Price Reduced

We are building a house and need to sell our 2003 Northwood Nash 24.5 foot fifth wheel for sale.  It is in excellent condition and is a top of the line fifth wheel.  We are asking $7500.00.  now $6,900.00

Watch this you-tube video of exactly the same fifth wheel, it is exactly like ours.

We checked at an RV place that would sell it and they suggested $9900.00 but we think that is too high. 

Contact Genny or Ken Redman at 250-968-4440, 250-246-2465 or our cell at 250-566-1118.

Thetis Island Marina ~ 7:30PM ~ Friday, May 29

Special dinner price offered by Paul Deacon

Burger and Beer

$15.00

-----

Join the TIMA crew and sundry salty types for a hilarious soirée of nautical music and unshipshape anecdotes about life, laughter and folly on the briny deep, shared by the sly, the shy, the outgoing and the outrageous.

Here are the names of a few folks who’ve hinted, threatened, agreed heartily or are currently being coerced (as in keel-hauled) to play music and/or give you a 5-minute or so account of some humorous or humiliating adventure on high seas, low tides or impertinent reefs: Lynda Poirier, Darron Stepple, Simone Luckham, Dave Pethick, Petra Accipiter, Maureen Loiselle, Mike Ferguson, Gerhard Wanney, Tom Taylor, Bob Pickell, Vicki Walker, Gerry Smith, Hortenza Nawatzki, Wayne Loiselle, Dale Burkholder, Michel Filion, Gary Geddes, Freya Fullner, and that’s just for starters.

Peter Luckham has agreed to acted as MC, be witty, and use the boat hook when necessary.

If I’ve missed your name or if you have a 5-minute anecdote and would love to be included, let me know by phone or email. No audition required. Or just show up at the soirée and volunteer to be part of the open mike at our floating opera. Tell Peter you want

Also, if you know a Thetis Island stowaway with a tale that must be told, bully him or her to share that story. And let me know and I’ll help arrange to have this secret sharer Shanghaied (Gary Geddes, 240-246-8176; gedworks@islandnet.com).  

Lots of folks will be arriving early for dinner. If you can’t make it for dinner, come up the gangplank in time to find a seat for the 7:30 launch. If the weather’s good, we may have our event outdoors in the covered area.

TIVFD ~ Coastal Fire Centre info

The Coastal Fire Centre has now also gone to open fire burn prohibitions except for campfires. This may be of interest to those who camp or  travel. Thetis Island shut down open burning (excluding campfires) on May 15th.

Thetis Island will most likely open up to yard waste pile burning on November 1 unless it is still dry.

Please report any smoke columns, especially in the daytime, to 911. Small evening attended campfires are still being allowed at this time.  Watch your sparks and use twice the amount of water you think you need to extinguish it.

This is shaping up to be a very dry season.
