Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - “If we can go out and clean up - helping another set of communities like the Heiltsuk, Kitasoo/Xai’Xais and Gitga’at - we can certainly start cleaning up our community. That’s what I’d really like to see coming out of this,” said Jonas Fineman.
He was one of nine eco-tour captains who had just returned from a beach clean up along BC’s central coast.
>>> The Misty Isles
Jonas was hired to serve as captain of the 70’ foot ketch "Island Odyssey", but his name is associated with another vessel here on Cortes Island.
He and his wife, Amy Bockner purchased the "Misty Isles" last year, but he was captain of another vessel most of that summer. They decided to officially launch their new venture in the Spring of 2020.
No one anticipated COVID 19.
