Since I like to be outside and at 5am any time of the year there isn't much to see, Duke Point to Tswwassen at 11:50. Do you like the ferry to be busy or almost empty?

that's an easy one:
Captain of the Nimpkish (I love the small boats)
If there's a big wait at a terminal, would you rather a full, late boat, or a semi-full on time boat?

Full, late boat. If they don't load em up full then you may be waiting even longer for your sailing.
Northern Adventure or Queen of Prince Rupert ??

oh, oh, pick me pick me!
QPR without a doubt. I haven't even been on her, but I have been on the NorAd, and that kinda seals the deal.
Queen Charlottes, or Inside Passage?

Post by Northern Exploration on Jan 25, 2008 8:02:08 GMT -8
Inside Passage (but only if it is the day sailing) for the stunning scenery over the open waters. Would you pick buffet or cafeteria?

Buffet...I'm a pig...
Back to the Inside Passage: Nimkish or Queen of Chilliwack?
|
|

Post by Nickfro on Jan 25, 2008 8:57:17 GMT -8
Queen of Chilliwack, just because it's for the Inside Passage run. For how long you're on the boat it's nice to walk around and have some amenities on board. Otherwise I'd choose the Nimpkish because I like small ferries.
Campbell River - Quadra - Cortez or Buckley Bay - Denman - Hornby ??

Tenaka or Tachek?

Tenaka, I've Never Rode the former Comox Queen. Plus She's like the Tachek and Nimpkish Combined.
Klitsa or Kahloke

Hypothetically you're travelling by car for a ten minute voyage: Do you stay in your car or go into the lounge?

Go into the lounge.
Cafeteria or Buffet?

bathtub, it's more comfortable... Queen of Tsawwassen or Queen of Chilliwack?
|
|

Post by Curtis on Jan 26, 2008 9:10:42 GMT -8
While Currently I'd Rather the Queen of Tsawwassen due to her soon to come retirement. Queen of Chilliwack All the Way!
Powell River Queen or Queen of Capilano

Post by Scott on Jan 26, 2008 9:32:18 GMT -8
Queen of Capilano. Although I like the double outside decks of the QPR, the Queen of Capilano is more spacious and comfortable. Plus I "worked" on her for a week:)
Lady Rose or Frances Barkley?

Frances Barkley. The name sounds better, whoever they are.
David Hahn or Kevin Falcon?

Post by WettCoast on Jan 26, 2008 20:12:54 GMT -8
Mr. Falcon who could be employed washing dishes on his Cadillac, the NorAd. A two week tour of duty next November would be appropriate.
The Frances Barkley and the Lady Rose both take recreationists from Port Alberni to the west coast of Van. Is.
Choose your recreation - hiking the WCT or paddling the Broken Islands group...

Paddling.
Gulf Islands or San Juan Islands?

Post by DENelson83 on Jan 26, 2008 20:46:23 GMT -8
Gulf Islands. They're on our side of the border!
In the Trincomali Channel or the Satellite Channel?
Oh, and WCK, I think they're called the Broken Group Islands.

Post by Scott on Jan 26, 2008 21:06:29 GMT -8
Trincomali Channel - I love Galiano Island and the sunsets over the channel:)
You take the Quadra Queen II - you get off at Sointula or Alert Bay?
PS. The Lady Rose and Frances Barkley are two ferries that operate out of Port Alberni and transport supplies and passengers to the Broken Group Islands, Bamfield, and Ucluelet (as well as other stops at small isolated communities and fish farms). The Lady Rose is an old refurbished Union Steamship and the Frances Barkley is a converted Norwiegan car ferry. On a busy day trip I'd rather be on the Frances Barkley, but I do like the character and history of the Lady Rose.

I want to say both but that is not a choice so I will say Sointula. Should I visit in summer or in the early fall? Oh, and WCK, I think they're called the Broken Group Islands. I did a Google search and I see it written both ways, but I suspect that Broken Group Islands is more correct. These islands were once known as the 'Effingham Islands' until fairly recently.
