Buck, the Mayor of Strachan Bay

Buck grew up rough in Eastern Canada a lost boy who grew into a lost man. Then Buck encounter legendary Charlie Chisom of Strachan Bay. By all accounts, Charlie was a remarkable man who became Buck's best friend and business partner in a beach combing business behind the Nakwakto Rapids. A beach comber claims and markets logs located below the high water line.

Remote life and Charlie's friendhip agreed with Buck. and he flourished. From a lost soul he has become the Mayor of Strachan Bay (population 1).

In 2004 Charlie died and Buck lost his best friend and partner. The price of logs has fallen and Buck now cooks for a shake logging operation populated by 3 loggers who can drink their own weight in beer on a daily basis. Shake loggers cut up downed cedars from earlier logging cuts that were never hauled out. Occasionally they will find music wood which is cedar that has dried to a rich golden color and is worth four times the price.

Buck lives in floating home is typical of earlier loggers complete with a garden and a unique hummingbird feeder that contains nectar rather than vodka. At our parting, Mary Lee used our hailing system to sing a farewell to Buck.

Buck is interested in increasing the population of Strachan Bay if he could find a willing woman who doesn't mind bears, wolves and remote life. Strachan Bay yields wonderful seafood and has a nice cutthroat run, as our friend Jerry can attest. Apply in person or write to Buck, the Mayor of Strachan Bay.
