Looking for Work ~

I just sailed onto the island and my outboard needs repairs, so I'm looking for random labour work like landscaping or chopping wood. I've also been a drywall taper for a number of years. Any work of any kind helps. call/text/message

Peacock Attendant ~ Ferry Dock

This peacock has been using the ferry dock as his home for several weeks now.  He seems lonely, probably doesn't even know that there are two peahens without a fellow on Penelakut.  Please be careful when driving next to him, as he tends to monitor the traffic very closely.  Does anyone know to whom he belongs, if in fact he has an owner?
