Three generations of my family have enjoyed countless weeks and weekends getting away from it all to the beach shack. The journey takes us up to the end of the bitumen, then snaking our way through a myriad of sandy tracks and wrong turns till the familiar coastline comes into view.
Cobwebs and dust are brushed aside and old technology kerosene fridges cranked back into working order before being filled with our supplies. Everything is makeshift and thrown together from household rejects making for an eclectic mish-mash of kitchen utensils, cutlery, crockery, glassware. The very out of style furniture is still high in comfort and beds seem to have given birth to each other proliferating in every nook and cranny of the shack.
Many people, many parties have gathered in the shack - somehow room found to fit everyone in. With restrictions on the use of the generator, no telephones and no television other ways to entertain are re-discovered. Playing the collection of games that now call the shack home, talking round the table, being awestruck by the brightness of the stars at night, reading through the stack of old magazines with many a shriek of laughter.
Out all day enjoying the sparseness of the landscape, the long stretches of powdery white beach, the shifting contour of the sand-dunes and the brilliant blue of the ocean. The collection of old and battered surf-boards are dragged into the water as young and old try their luck. Land-drovers and trailers are dotted down the beach telling us whose still out fishing. The Cray fishing boats come in and we manage to buy a feed, cook it with butter and garlic and feel like kings and queens.
Finn Slough is a tiny Fraser River fishing community located at the south end of No. 4 Road in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. The community has approximately 30 residents who live in wooden houses, both floating and built on stilts, along the marshy river bank. Many of the buildings were built between the late 19th century and 1950s and many have decayed severely, while some have been carefully restored. Finn Slough was founded by Finnish settlers who came to Richmond in the 1880s. Most of these residents made a good living from fishing and became local landowners.
The sleepy and decaying village of Finn Slough has been repeatedly photographed, and it appears on numerous postcards sold throughout Vancouver tourist shops.

Many fishermen must have other sources besides fishing to survive, most of them are dedicated to the sale of food.
