- Welcome back to Lodge Life!
So much is going on, as usual! The guys have mostly finished the boat-lift project, all that's left to do is to put the railings back on. Meanwhile I am busy cleaning the cabin and the first aid room to prepare for the arrival of the owner next week.
We caught a few more Martens and also noticed a pigeon hanging around inside the cannery. After looking it up online I found out that it was a "Canadian Racing Pigeon". Honestly Im still not too sure what that means but the website told me to try to capture it and feed it until someone could tell me what to do with it next however it flew away when I tried to pick it up.
We spent 3 weeks working hard everyday and finally on a nice sunny day the manager decided to take us out fishing on the west side of Calvert island. It was my first time on the "dark side" and again I got sea sick. The waves sure are getting me this year!
After we returned back to the lodge I helped Dwayne clean all the fish that we caught and we enjoyed fish and chips for dinner.
Last minute we found out we would be getting days off so after the barge arrived on Sunday we ate lunch and boarded the plane for Port Hardy/Vancouver.
Dwayne and Christian stayed back at the lodge to keep working on things and we will see them again on the 8th.
Coming up next time on Lodge Life I will show you our plane rides back to Vancouver and how I spent my days off in the interior of BC.
Thanks so much for watching and take care until next time
Thanks for the great video Jenny! Those pesky martins!! Awesome fishing adventure! Keep on keeping on!! Cheers!
I was the caretaker and maintenance person back in the early 70’s when it was in the early stages of a fishing lodge. To see through your videos the investments and changes that have come about to a place and time I truly loved just brings to mind so many memories. Ah the stories I can tell, and hi to all our bygone crews if you’re lurking.
On the boat lift, we had two American craft travelling up to Alaska when they each hit rocks out by False Egg and sheared off their stern drives. Wondering how they didn’t know the rocks were there I asked to see their maps. They were travelling from San Francisco on United Airline’s maps of North America. Calvert was just a speck. Two new stern drives flown up from Van wasn’t cheap even in those days, but we repaired them and got them on their way with better charts.
We had a fire in the gen set room that we built outside the back of the cannery and it travelled into the roof area above the retorts. I had instructions that if it ever caught fire to just let the place go. Well, not on my watch. Folk from all over made it to help extinguish that fire as they could see the plume on one of those clear blue Rivers Inlet days.
Keep up the excellent work, and have a fine 2024 season.
I just love jumping to the comments after a video, just wholesome good vibes being shared... Pure gold
Thanks for another great video Jenny. Hope you enjoy your days off!!
Thank you, I'm crying right now. You're capturing the essence of my youth, 70 odd years ago. Well done!
Hi Jenny, I just have to say my wife and I have been getting a laugh about you chasing the little martin around the kitchen, the little rascal was having a great time. lol
Love you, the music, the scenery , the fishing ,the lifestyle, and the people. No wonder your smile is so radiant!
Wow, good stuff Jenny 👍👍
I lived in the Pacific Northwest for 18 years, and never had a chance to really go out on the boat and catch lingcod or halibut but what an incredible time to pull bounty from the sea like that!
What a bounty it was! I hope you get the chance some day and if not then keep watching more of my videos as there will be more fishing this summer.
Another great video, thank you! You are a multi talented lady and the folks you work with are very lucky to have you. Keep up the great work!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
You seem to have captured a great format for storytelling that makes me watch from beginning to end. Well done on your channel!
Thank you so much! The closeup shots have really made a difference this year compared to only using an action cam. I appreciate your support! Take care!
@@jenny_adrift Yes, and the drone shots too. You also pair it very well with your music choice!
Agreed. Really keeps me engaged!
With all those old boys around not having beans in the chilli is dual purpose for you!
You're right about not putting beans in your chili, Chef! I really can't say enough about how good your production value is with these episodes of yours. Content, quality and presentation are top shelf as well. Really enjoying this channel since recently becoming a subscriber. Oh, loved the drone shot opening. :) Cheers!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. I just bought the new iPhone and the closeups really make a difference from last years videos.
Thanks for your support with the beans in the chili also haha.
Take care!
Love your adventures Jennythank you for taking us all along with you I would love to come up someday looks amazing
Thanks Jenny, nice piece, good luck battling the martins
We are so happy we discovered your channel. We do a lot of adventures in BC on the roads but great to see our amazing coast. Great video. Fish and Chips looked great!
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much for watching!!
Very well done video, I can tell from your narration, videography and format that you will gain many subscribers soon.
Best of luck
Nice of you to mention Rob and Nola from Dawson's. They are so nice. Corn is great. Try Garnishing with Fritos on top. Love your magic edits. I especially like the zoom way of doing it.
Channel doing great more people enjoying the magic.
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸. Nice boat fishing video. 🌷
I just watched Newfies at Wadhams!! Loved it. Makes me miss my Newfoundland named Mrs Beezley, she was a sweet and loving guardian to our family. 😇
They are such gentle giants
Ted seems like a wise cool guy
He sure is!!
Home made fish and chips ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
I agree with the last comment: you have a wonderful coherence in your story telling. Love it and love it!
Such a rad spot to be for the summer!
It absolutely is!
You are developing great skills a natural.
Thank you very much! I appreciate that 💕
Trick with catching a bird use a non Terrycloth towel over the whole bird and it’s wings th egg n scoop them up making sure to expose their head out from under the towel. Works like a charm, I’ve been handling mostly parrots in 30 years but I’ve used this technique in wild rescue situations from a huge seagull to a tiny hummer that flew into my garage one summer and was bashing himself into the windows.
Awesome videos of the opening. I’ve done a few seasons in Haida Gwaii at a lodge called Langara Island Lodge was amazing experience. Brings back a lot of memories doing a few seasons out there working alongside with the staff chef.
Your video’s showing what happens are wonderful to watch and learn what life is like where you live. Thank you for taking the time to put your vido’s together. We live in Missouri.
Thanks so much for the great video. Love the fishing, and love the cooking…time laps are great keep the, coming!
Just subscribed to your channel , I am very excited to go back and watch all that I have missed. You are a very lovely woman and entertaining too boot. I will be around and good luck with those martins, there sneaky bastards. I also spent years cooking for folks around Wa. and Montana in the hunting camps ! Keep on with it girl !!!
Another great video Jenny! Got some friends staying at piney on the long weekend hope you might be around. Mike from Deka
Just found your channel and am so excited to subscribe. I'm not far, just on south Vanc Isl., so happy to see BC content and especially given your location. Have a great few days off. Look forward to seeing if you find out where those pesky Martens are coming in!
That marten was a mink.
Love your videos.
New subscriber....Love your content.
Love your videos..thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Thank you! You as well!
Welcome back Jenny,...Maybe in your next video you could explain the need and or purpose of the Huge Boat Lift if all of your boat work is taken care of at other marina's...or is that because the Lift was not working...I'm interested in knowing why the need for the Boat Lift, ie maintenance of the Lodge's boat fleet et al...
Cool vid , that lodge seems really cool
Thank you so much. This is one of the coolest lodges on the West Coast. so much history here and the owner takes such good care of us. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. Take care.
My heart sings when I see another one of your vids coming through..visually beautiful and lots of unexpected surprises including one that starts with the letter M..and so well paced ..thanks Jenny for sharing!
Hi Jenny, what a pleasant surprise to find a new video this morning. You had a very cute and naughty little visitor in the morning, so cute. We had a few wild pets when we lived in Smith Inlet, the two best remembered were a pet otter and a pet deer. The otter fondly named Oscar showed up one day with pups so we had to change the name to Oscarette. The deer, Speckie, we rescued after a wolf killed it's mother. We brought it up from a fawn. It used to like to walk up and down eating the roses that my mom loving grew in half barrels in front of our house. Thanks for another great video, I will share it.
Not the roses! Haha what wonderful pets to have! I would love to snuggle one of these martens but I do t think it feels the same about me! Thanks for sharing your wonderful story!
Yup,swells will do it for sure.🤢🤮🤢🤮 Don't ever stop making vids please. Love em❤
Thank you for the cooking content, amazing job as usual, but those Martens! Good Luck.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the cooking segment. Thanks for watching!
Powerful flex, corn in the chili!
😂 totally
I love you channel
Hello - I stumbled upon your channel, and my husband and I are hooked. We find your videos relaxing and entertaining at the same time. I am in awe of your work ethic, your strength and your immense beauty. Thank you for sharing! ❤
I've always wondered what it would be like to work at a lodge. These are great videos! keep them coming!
Thank you so much. It’s definitely interesting work, this lodge specifically. There’s so much history here and the scenery is so beautiful and we are so well well taken care of by the owner. It’s definitely a dream job.
Thanks for watching. Take care.
Love love your videos, do you think you could do a full video on the those beautiful Newfoundlands. I had one. They are adorable. I'll keep watching
hell ya they watchin the canucks
Just found your channel. What a well done lifestyle channel.. As a West coast boater this is very interesting indeed.😊
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos! Definitely a cool place to live in the summer!
Sure glad you don't get air sick, Jenny. 😀😀
You lost me with no beans in the chili and adding corn. But you pulled me right back in with cheese AND bacon corn bread!! Mmmmm haha 😂
Haha right?! My style of chili is not for everyone but don’t knock it till you try it 😜 the corn bread was so yummy!!
@@jenny_adrift That's very true, haha. I'll have to give it a try! 😁
I'm over the moon to have found your channel!
You content is amazing! Thank you!
Welcome aboard and thank you so much for watching!!
Good work again Jenny! It's amazing how hard you work, cooking, cleaning, chasing Marmots, fishing, and even getting sea sick doing that, and still, Getting er Done! Sounds like with the plane coming in that your off on some well deserved down time relief. Good on ya. All the best, and keep the videos coming!
Great to see a histoic site to be preserved-Ido enjoy your videos-thank ou
Hi Jenny , good on you, inspiring stuff, most of my adventures revolve around tropical locations, diving fishing etc leaving the Gold Coast of Australia next year to head to Canada and toughen up a bit (lol).
That’s awesome Andrew. Good luck on all your adventures!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a kind comment!
Thank you for sharing!!!
Super awesome in every aspect,! Beautiful video ❤😊💪🏄♂️🚁
Jenny! Just stumbled onto your channel! Fantastic! I binge watched the Rivers Inlet videos. I grew up on the west coast. Spent a lot of time on the water aboard my grandparents 70’ wooden ketch sailboat. Your videos bring me back to my childhood memories on Lasqueti Island. I’ve also spent a fair amount of time in the Queen Charlottes. Keep up the great work on the videos! I can’t believe you don’t have more followers! Very entertaining. Thanks for sharing !! Cheers. Doug from Tsawwassen BC ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story! What a wonderful childhood you must of had with your grandparents.
Thank you for watching and I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the videos!!
Your videos are soothing!! Keep em coming!
Hi jenny..wish the lodge wasn't private..would gladly pay to come up for the peace& quiet..lol..the Martin problem u guys have..surprised there's no big dog there..l..great vid as usual 😁👍
Part of the reason I’m sharing these videos is to show people this amazing place that most will never get to see. It’s been private for quite a few years now.
The Marten problem will slow down when the three big Newfy dogs get here next week.
Thank you so much for watching !
Another FABULOUS video. I get so excited when I see you've posted a new one. I've told on my expat Canadian friends about your channel and hopefully they will become subscribers. Your food had me drooling over that fresh fish. The cinnamon rolls werent too shabby either. You work with some great folks. Would love for you to get Ted, and his 2nd in command(?) dont remember his name, in front of the camera and tell us about their back story, lives, etc. I think that would be an interesting topic. Looks like your subscriber numbers are growing a bit too. Love to see it. Thanks again.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video! What a beautiful location to spend your summer in. The closeups of the fish was especially nice….such colors. See you next video
Thank you so much. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video. The fish were particularly beautiful that day. I’ve never seen such a redfish before. It’s called a Vermillion. I’m learning a lot up here.
Thanks again take care !
Hi Jenny, another great video. I love the way your telling your story👌. looks like you have a good group of people to work with ,helps keep the smiles. Again great Scenery Wonderful environment .thanks for Sharing.👍 stay safe and happy !
🇨🇦 Craig
Thank you so much, Craig. I really appreciate you leaving this comment.! I’m happy to hear that you’re enjoying the videos. The staff appear excellent. We all get along so well and consider each other family.
Thank you so much for watching and take care until next time !
I always had fun when I got off my boat and was still compensating for the wave action. Interesting videos, love seeing video from coastal BC. Love the ocean.
Right?! It’s such a real things feeling the waves after getting off the boat haha
Loved every minute. Jenny of all trades.
I’ve only been to Vancouver a couple of times and really enjoyed it. The scenery is incredible.
You’re very lucky. Enjoy your time there and maybe try taking gravol to control nausea when you go fishing.

❤ the Goose! As well as the other birds that they fly.
And the beaver! Haha those planes are so neat! Thanks for watching!
You're amazing. You actually have a lot on your plate, every day. Good on you, for getting a day or two off. Don't go cazy, in the BIG CITY, eh
Thank you, Robin already left the big city and I’m in the interior in a little spot called Quilchena. I met up with Brent who just got over the border yesterday from the states so I’ll be spending my days with him which I’m really looking forward to.
Thank you for your support through the months. I really appreciate you.
What a great job and location...need a sous chef Jenny ?! New sub here 🤙🏾
Thank you! I truly love my job and if there’s ever an opening it will be posted on Indeed. Thanks again!
love these vids!
Thank you!!
Beans...don't be a has bean ; )
Right?! Haha
Hmmm….Pine Martens still giving you grief….dogs’ll do the trick….I recognize Dugout rocks…frying the rockfish whole is also a great way to cook and eat them. You get more return from each fish and the little bones become edible as well…I would recommend that as something to try with the crew.
Finally learned the rockfish cook whole thing a while ago.Exellent .
Nicely done. Looking forward to more
Much appreciated thank you for letting me know you’re enjoying my videos! More to come soon!
Love your videos Jenny❤
Thank you so much, Kathy. It makes me so happy to know that you’re enjoying these videos. Take care.
Forgot to add...terrific videos that you produce! You seem to have a great benefit package ....fishing...wow!
Fishing is definitely a big bonus for us all while working up in Rivers Inlet during the summer! Sometimes we also get a helicopter ride to a glacier or a beach. We also do BBQ salmon beach days. We are so spoiled up here!
@@jenny_adrift Sounds wonderful Jenny glad they treat you all well! Question....is this a private fishing camp or can you book trips to your camp? I am a retiree and have a bucket list item titled "West Coast Salmon fishing trip" still to fill. If not... can you recommend one that you might know of?
Great stuff. What a place to work. We are starting up our season here in Yosemite as well. Thanks for the videos . Look forward to seeing more.
Very cool I’ve always wanted to visit Yosemite. Thank you so much for leaving me a comment. I truly appreciate knowing that you’re enjoying the videos. Take care.
😀👍
🥰🙏
Great video, I do so love watching your channel wonderful content and spectacular scenery!
Wow, thank you so much, Richard. What a great comment. I appreciate knowing you’re enjoying the videos. It is a spectacular place.
@@jenny_adrift yes it really is a beautiful part of the world. 😊
Hello I am a new subscriber from Newfoundland Canada love your videos❤
Welcome to my channel!! I’m so happy you found it! I hope to visit Newfoundland some day! Take care!
Ok i subscribed to your cannel !!
Thank you!!!! 🙏
@@jenny_adrift ❤
Noooooooooooo No corn in chili
Have you tried it?! Corn bread and chili and corn…. It totally works haha
@@jenny_adrift actually I have! I’m currently living in the Chiricahua’s in SE AZ . Only a couple of places to eat around here. Sky Island restaurant is one and they serve chili with sweet corn mixed into it. Just don’t like it I’m originally from Texas and we make chili without beans though I have added beans as a filler and that’s ok. But never add corn I believe it’s a northern thing in the US. The couple that own operate the restaurant are from Wisconsin I believe. I definitely enjoy your videos!
@8:44-9:24 the marten was just showing you what he/she was up to Jenny lol, they really keep you busy 🙂
Haha they had been keeping me so busy and now just my kitchen and video work does.
@@jenny_adrift keep up your hard work Jenny you will make it, you are a real gem and sweetheart stay amazing and please tell all the crew at the lodge hi for me
@@ataglance556 will do!! What is your name?
@@jenny_adrift real name is Daryl 🥰, and thank you Jenny, and I'm from Ontario ☺️
Great vlog and interestingly done. About the generators: Maybe the owner should think about a PV system with storage. Greetings from Hamburg, Germany.
I can definitely bring it up to him and Christian, our maintenance man. I’m not too sure what a PV system is, but I’ll check it out. Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment all the way from from Germany!
PV system is a photovoltaic system, i.e. electricity produced by the sun. It could be that PV is a more German abbreviation... In my house I can cover 80% of my electricity needs with it. It just has to be bright. This should work in Canada too.
I love your channel! My mom's family grew up at Good Hope, I've been a couple of times, and I know Ted well, your channel is close to my heart! I love watching the adventures you go on, and your videos are just so well edited! I'm curious to ask, do you have any advice with drone videography in westcoast environments? I love the seals footage you got. I once had my drone attacked by seagulls in a harbour (I had to buy a new drone after that!) and so I've been a bit wary of taking it out flying in cool westcoast BC locations ever since. Do you have any insight to share with me about that?
Keep making awesome content, you're super awesome, Jenny Adrift! #1 fan right here!
Wow, thank you so much. You are too kind.
I actually lost my drone last year when trying to land it on a boat and it just fell into the chuck. I was extremely sad and it took me some time to get over the fear of losing my drone again. All I can say is that you should just keep practising and build your confidence again because there are some amazing shots out there waiting for you to capture.
What kind of drone do you fly? Right now I’m flying DJI mini three which I really love. I have had seagulls and swallows go after it. Luckily, nothing has happened yet. But there’s always a chance. You just have to take the chance.
Thank you for sharing your story in this comment. I wish you all the best.
Thank you so much for your response Jenny, and for your encouragement!! I’m flying a DJI Mavic Mini also, they’re awesome little drones and the photo and video quality is beautiful! You’ve inspired me, I’m going to do some drone practice today since it’s beautiful and sunny. Keep being awesome, looking forward to following along on your adventures.
I just discovered your channel and love it. Its calming like Tony Fleming Venture. We travel the inside passage during the summer on our boat. We know the area. Your drone footage is simply outstanding. What model drone are you using? Keep up the great job.
Thank you so much and I wish you luck on all your adventures!! I fly a DJI mini 3 drone and I absolutely love it! It can be difficult sometimes hen I’m flying near cliff as I lose control and have to slowly bring it back closer to me but I love what I’ve been able to capture!! Thanks for watching!
I used to never get sea sick. Ever since I had an ear infection I get sea sick
What do you guys produce at the cannery.good job girl ❤😊
I just love your videos. You all seem like such a wonderful group of people and work very well together. What a huge asset to Good Hope Cannery. I’m from the coast and watching your videos and the trip from the mainland up the coast reminds me of the trips l took with my Dad on his boat, it also relieves my homesick feeling a wee bit. I sure do miss it. Such a beautiful and wondrous place. All the best to you
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I’ve had a few people commenting saying how homesick they are for the West Coast and I’m so glad you found my videos.
The staff here are beyond exceptional . After working together for years and months at a time we become more like a family.
Thank you for your lovely comment. See you on the next video.
My wife Monnie and I have a daughter and son-in-law and two grandchildren living on a 50 ft sail boat on the sea of Cortez and we will be spending a lot of time down there between salmon fishing around Port Hardy. Thinking we might spend some time at your lodge. We are just so impressed with your video production!!! Thank you!!!
Love your videos. Seems like a dream job. What is your typical clients that show up? It seems like Good Hope is more of a eco tourism lodge vs a dedicated fishing lodge? Everything looks really well kept and in good shape compared to some of the fishing lodges i've seen along the coast. Very cool.
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment. We call it a wilderness lodge and the guests we have up are invited by the owner as it’s a private lodge. Our guests are mostly his friends and family.
Thanks for watching!
What kind of drone do you use? Really enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much, George. I fly a DJI 3. I’ve captured so many amazing things in the last couple years and I can’t wait to see what I’m able to capture this year. Thanks so much for leaving in comment. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos.
Is it really expensive to stay up there and go on a guided fish? Or is it a private lodge?
It is a private lodge but there’s one nearby called Dncanby that you can check out! Thanks for watching!
What ? coke and pizza ? Where is the Labatts ?
I don’t know what it is about eating pizza, but I crave Coca-Cola with it. Labattd will join us on a nice sunny day after work haha
How is John doing I haven’t seen him since he worked on docks at April point where I was working the ships Oakbay group Norm leg less Norm
He’s doing well! Always such a hard working man!
May I ask what camera set up you vlog with? Thanks.
Hi Kelly! I started last year with the GoPro 11 and a DJI mini 3 and this year I’ve added footage from my iPhone 15. The shots are incredible and it’s always in my pocket.
Thanks so much for sharing at watching!
Thanks for the info. Loving your channel!
Thank you!!! 🙏
Maybe a motion activated camera (Wyze Cam) can help you figure out how Mr Marten is getting in…
We had a look under the building and are filling in a few holes that we’ve just noticed. Hopefully that will keep them out. Once the dogs arrive the martens won’t enjoy living around the cannery as much so hopefully it won’t be a problem much longer.

How would someone look for a job working there I'm retired and Board LOL I'm a retired construction worker
Hi Jerry! I get asked this question often actually. I definitely found my dream job!
When we have positions available they are posted on the website called “Indeed”.
Take care!

I’m not sure I understand…
@@jenny_adrift with child ?
Also, you don't have cell service however you do have internet so why don't you use a VOIP [Voice Over Internet Protocol}...get yourself a headset with microphone and you can call all over the world to any cellphone anywhere...might help with the loneliness that comes with being away from family and loved ones from time to time..or perhaps you already have VOIP...
I really used to like you but no beans in the chili you have gone to far lol.
🤣 I knew that would upset some people!! Sorry!!! Haha
