After the Breakers burnt down in about 1983, the Reef in Point Roberts, was the only place to play. Great room considering it was packed to the rafters most weekends.  I recall taking the whole 20 minute break just to get to the bar and back to the stage again.  We would play Fri., Sat., and Sundays there.  Even Sundays were good up until the bars in Vancouver opened on Sundays for Expo 86, that killed the band/bar business in Point Roberts.  As this piece of USA is only accesible from mainland Canada, the border guards and the RCMP made it difficult for patrons to access the Point and return home after so there was no incentive to make the trip, despite the great ambiance of Point Roberts.
