Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Clark McKay and Carol Pierce have been running the Floathouse restaurant, on Cortes Island, since last October.
Though they have both been working in the industry for 20 years, this winter is different. As a result of COVID, the community has gone into semi-isolation. For many local residents, picking up their food is one of their principle outings for the week.
This has brought about an unexpected benefit to both Pierce and Clark.
“This is the first winter in 10 years that I’ve spent in Canada,” she explained.
