I lived and worked in Esky in '95, then again from '06-'08. Great town. The only thing I didn't care for? The wind. It never. Friggin'. Stops. It's just part of life on the Lakes, though. I rode the Drummond Island ferry on Labor Day weekend, but it was taking me to Sugar Island. The Sugar Islander was out for repairs, so they borrowed one of Drummond's!
