ConclusionDuring decades of homesteading on the British Columbia Coast, building wooden boats and sailing up and down North America and across the Pacific, the Farrells have earned a living at times by fishing, digging clams, giving hair cuts and beachcombing. They considered that life on the sea and sustaining themselves with the local food resources was indeed a blessing that they in turn shared with all those that encountered them.
Many of the images and text for this Farrell story are part of the travelling exhibit called 'Salt on the Wind'. This photographic exhibit can be booked by contacting the Sunshine Coast Museum.
