Nice photos Mike! Sunrise is always a neat time to be up! Not that I would get up that often to photograph ferries unless I was travelling on one! While everyone is sleeping Mr Horn is up taking photos of ferries, lol!

Yeah it is very sad! The Queen of Saanich was one of my favorites and I still remember my last sailing on her and all the times I rode on her.

I did a trip to Anacortes yesterday! I had to park in the upper lot cause the lower lots were full! Sure is a good workout walking back up that hill. That would be a pain in the but if you had lots of luggage and at night too! Takes like 15 mins to walk that trail. I noticed parking went up last time I was there in Jan it was like $5 at least I thought it was now it is like $10. I saw the two tie up slips to the left of the main slips. The boats were pretty much full on both trips but the return trip from Friday Harbour was a bit less!

I was on the Coastal Celebration's 8am sailing this morning to Tsawwassen. She took a wierd route from Swartz Bay she came her normal route out of berth 2 then instead of going the inbound Spirit route she turned port and went towards Fulford then got on the Spirit outbound route from there. I thought that was a bit different but dont know what the purpose of that was.

ok I was on the Yakima today and I bought a bottled water as I was thirsty and a Chicken Wrap from the Galley. My report is the Chicken Wrap was pretty good but it was a little expensive. $9 for a bottled water and a Wrap is a bit much. I thought about trying one of their cheeseburgers but I figured I would be having Triple O's on the SOVI coming back tonight so I dident. Has WSF always had the same food provider??? Cause years ago I remember being on the international boat and I dident think the food was all that good but it looked like it might of improved. I could be wrong though.

I am back from my WSF trip I did today. I ended up just doing a trip on the Yakima from Anacortes to Friday Harbour and back. I did the 2pm out of Anacortes and the 3:45pm out of Friday Harbour which left like 10 min late due to heavy traffic. It took forever for the cars to unload at Friday Harbour as it was so congested there. I think the Yakima is my favorite of the 3 Supers I have been on. It seemed like there was a cranky women on the PA on the trip over telling people to turn off their car alarms or else they would have to stay with their car for the whole trip. Not much else to report on.

Well we are flying with airmiles so United had cheaper fees for the days we wanted to go other wise we would of had of gone all over the country on Westjet just to get to LA with more expensive fees. So United was a better choice!

I thought there was only one, actually until a while ago I dident even know there was a tie up slip in Anacortes. I knew Friday Harbour had one. I might try and get down to Anacortes Friday for a day trip and some Elwha E State and Hyak fun! I need a WSF fix!

Well a few people I know have had no problems with United. We are flying out of Victoria so I dont think there would be too many delays. Maybe out of SFO but we have early flights so hopefully no delays and we can be in Anaheim as scheduled!

ok question there is 2 berths at Anacortes and a tie up berth right??? Evergreen State ties up Friday Harbour that leaves 4 boats left where do they all overnight??? I think someone said Chelan uses the tie up slip. Then there are the Yakima Hyak and Elwha which all cant overnight in Anacortes right???

ok that's cool then. I might just go out of Bainbridge and do the triangle route then instead of driving to Bremerton. Bainbridge looks a bit easier to find my way around. lol!

The Osprey is a neat ship. She even has a snack bar or mini cafe with quite a number of menu items. I think that route is my favorite of the Inland Ferries. You could ride those ferries all day. The MV Balfour is wierd though. Not much seating on that boat not much passenger space. The best free 40 min ferry trip in BC. Not like Langdale same $12 to cross Fulford Harbour around $10 it is rediculas how come those inland ferries are free? lol!

I have been on both the Balfour and Osprey 2000. I have been on both the MV Shelter Bay and DEV Galena. Been on the Harrop Ferry the Adams Lake Ferry the Needles Ferry and that little ferry north of Kamloops cross the river that only takes like 3 cars if you call that a ferry, lol! Oh and I have also been on the Francois Lake Ferry too! Do you get wierd looks from anyone when you just do roundtrips do you actually get off or just stay onboard???
