February 2019 - Your Best of 2018

[Kahloke]

It's that time of year again - the annual "best of the previous year" ferry photos - when you get to submit your favourite 2 ferry photos you took in 2018.  There is one slight difference this time around;  it's going to be a one month flagship, February 2019 only, so we can reset the calendar to have the two month flagships begin on even months.  After the calendar reset, the regular two-month rotations will resume, and after 2019, the schedule will look like this:
JAN-FEB - best of previous year
MAR-APR
MAY-JUN
JUL-AUG
SEP-OCT - Voyager's Choice
NOV-DEC


Quick rules for this flagship:

- the photo must have been taken in 2018
- the photo must be your own
- it must be a photo of a ferry, or 2, or 3...
- Limit of 2 photos per person

-----------------------------------------

Entries will be accepted until 5:00PM PST, January 29th, 2019, followed by a 2 day voting period

Honestly thought I'd have a Nimpkish shot in the running, but a lot of my best ones from that trip wouldn't have made good banners.

     I would rather see a decommissioned vessel; a) thoroughly cleaned and sunk as an artificial reef, b).Cut-up in an environmentally friendly breakers' yard, c). Succumb 
     to Davie Jones locker far, far out at sea, ie. Sunshine Coast Queen.
     Breaks my heart to see my first posting with the B.C. Ferry Authority (and damn, I worked hard that day!) decrepitly aground and forlorn on a damn river bank!
