The Dentist Boat Came to Town
The bush dentist stopped in town on Sunday. He and his wife have been running a dentist boat "The Jenny B" since the sixties. They go to all the camps and small towns in the area. He just pulls up at the dock, you can go down, make an appointment, and get your teeth worked on onboard. The funny thing is that you have to hold this button thing in your lap to ground his instruments. I guess you also have to hope no one goes by too fast and makes a wake while he's drilling. There wasn't room at the dock, so we had to climb over the deck of the packer "Towego". After he left here, he headed out to the gillnetter opening in Clarence Straits and was going to work on a fisherman while his nets were soaking.
