Joe Drinkwater-30×24-Acrylic on Canvas
Joe Drinkwater, Built in 1932 and spent roughly the first half of her life towing on Great Central Lake. Was purchased in 1973 by Joan & Lee Roberts in Gibsons BC from Rivtow Straits skipper Al Zeuff. Based out of Heriot Bay Quadra for decades, Lee & Joan started out beach-combing and towing logs with it, also hand logging in Smiths Inlet, and eventually barge work and general marine construction. They rescued many boats and folks from disaster large & small through the years. Once while beach-combing Lee found an old bomb and built a stove out of it.
