Meet the New Guys

Sunday, September 19, 2010 by michelle.

The Catalina Experience recently gained two new employees to help us finish out the year.  Jesse and Kyle (nicknamed “the cabin boys”) are a couple of young (18) men who happened to be visiting Two Harbors on the same day Eugene was there.  They had come over on their 27′ sailboat that they live aboard to hang out on the island for a bit and by chance were looking to pick up some work.  Eugene offered to give them a try if they decided to come back to Catalina and wanted to stop by camp, and that’s just what they did.

They’ve been working with us for a few weeks now and they have been doing an excellent job.  They help out wherever they are needed, whether it’s checking out waterfront gear, doing dishes in the kitchen, cleaning bathrooms with Grant, or even holding baby Morgan (a.k.a., Mr. Wiggles) so mom and dad can get a quick bite in during lunch.

They still live aboard their sailboat and commute to work each day from the harbor, but Grant and Jeremy helped them out and got their boat anchored much closer to the pier (they were rowing in from Hen Rock each morning which took them about an hour each way!) and Eugene is letting them use an outboard motor to power the inflatable dinghy brought to them by Kyle’s mom and dad.

We are glad to have new staff that seem to be really enjoying themselves out here and we’re really relieved to have two more people to help us during these last busy months.
