Visitor to Haro Strait

[EGfleet]

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I had to post since for the first time in the four years I've been traveling to and from Sidney I saw a B.C. Ferry on our side of the border today.

I assume she was sea-trialing...I apologize for the lousy quailty of the photo. Not only did I have my cheap camera, but the batteries were packing it in as well. If anyone wants the full sized ones, let me know and I'll email them to you.

BTW--which one is this? I couldn't read her name.

Below, sailing just north (or is it west? I'm never sure) of Spieden Island.

I believe that is the Quadra Queen II.

[Elmo]

That is the Quadra Queen 2 heading back to Port Mcneil

[Low Light Mike]

WooHoo: You found the Quadra Queen II. We were wondering about that ship today, on another thread. She left a Victoria shipyard today, and is heading back into service at north Vancouver Island (Port McNeil).

Thanks for being in the right place at the right time.

[Koastal Karl]

She is northbound to Port McNeill she is around the northern tip of Galiano right now!

There's something you don't see often. Reminds me of the time I saw Her at Horseshoe Bay fresh out of refit in December of 2004. Only time I've ever seen the vessel. I've got the pictures to prove it.
