NORTHERN SEA WOLF is showing up on Marine Traffic offshore of San Diego with an ETA of December 14th (Thursday) for Vancouver. Does anyone know where the specific destination is? After the Salish Eagle and Salish Raven were destined to Ogden Point as per CBSA, I'd assume this will be the case for the Northern Sea Wolf. Things will be more clear once her pilot order is submitted.

Salish Raven made a stop at Darrell Bay this morning for dock fitting. She's currently southbound in the strait, likely bound for Tsawwassen.

With no 1900 from DPB and 2100 sailing from HSB this evening, the Cowichan sailed direct to Tsawwassen for an MD sailing to provide a boost in overheight capacity.
Perhaps we'll see this again next week?

Was some, perhaps all, of that money BC Ferries' money, or was it all Goundar's money? How much money did BC Ferries actually realize on the sale after expenses were paid? If BC Ferries paid a substantial portion of the costs then in the end they will have made next to nothing on the sale. You know this is confidential information between the buyer and seller. It does not concern you or I, nor does it have anything to do with the point I raised. The money spent could have benefited route 9 users back in the summer, and could continue to benefit the travelling public in coastal BC as a reserve vessel during this two year period when one or the other of their two largest vessels are unavailable for extended periods due to the Polish upgrades. Repairs attempted while she was laid-up at Tsawwassen's Berth 2 were unsuccessful. As dry dock space cannot always be made available instantaneously, I don't see how throwing money at her in the summer would have fixed the issue when VDD and EGD were unavailable. Again, to hold on to the Nanaimo would cost millions of dollars in maintenance, moorage and upkeep and she would not have been used, even if a major vessel broke down. Don't get me wrong, I miss the Queen of Nanaimo immensely and I will always be sad that she left Route 9 so unceremoniously. However, we've lived through the Coquitlam, Cowichan, Oak Bay, Surrey and Alberni MLU's (in order), as well as the New West's asset betterment. Sorry, but the sky is not falling because the SoBC is MLU'd this year and the SoVI next year.

But that horse has bolted, and BC Ferries has raked in $0.50 profit on the sale to Goundar ... ...which has saved millions of dollars in maintenance, moorage and upkeep towards a vessel that would not have been used.

Thanks. This is what is confusing me. www.bcferries.com/bcfservicenotice?id=2663There's no similar notice for the CR. I'm a new ferry watcher so I'm still getting used to the various sources of info. :-) So will the Renaissance be at Departure Bay for a while then? I have an excellent view of her from my house. While the service notice is incorrect, it's less confusing to read from a public standpoint. That said, we'd have seen a more accurate service notice if the Inspiration and Renaissance had differing amenities.
