This last picture from the Moyie Sunday event, conjures up memories of another time on another ship, the SS Minto, sister ship to the Moyie, which plied the Arrow Lakes into the late 1950's from Nakusp to my boyhood hometown of Arrowhead.
Different times most certainly, there was card playing, smoking (see above) and sometimes little guys would get to see what Kootenay Lake looked like from the wheelhouse. Nonetheless for me, they are quite lovely memories of both the Moyie and the Minto, from a time when I was (ahem...) much younger.
An enjoyable afternoon upon the Moyie, and I thank you, Pamela, for the photo op. And by the way, the people I ran into aboard, just loved their visit. The last couple I spoke with came from Boston. They were in town for three nights. I rest my case.
