I like them both although I have never been on the Kaleetan that is the only Super I havent been on now and I really want to get on her one day. I am hoping to get on her this summer for a trip or two! If only she was in the San Juans.

I am tired of these stupid people who buy these ships and dont do anything with them! Why do they anchor it in the middle of nowhere if they have no decent place to moor it then they shouldent buy it. Should of just scrapped them all then you wouldent have to see the vandalized and all this other stuff.

The few times i have gone out of Anacortes I thought the ships really powered out of there quite fast the last two times on the Sealth and the last time on the Yakima! I love the Super Class though! Which interior do you think is better the Yakima or Kaleetan??? I havent been on the Kaleetan but I have seen potos and I want to go her I think those two ships though have the nicer interiors.

ooh the Chilliwack looks pretty good inside now. The red seats with the blue carpeting seems kinda odd but I guess they were too cheap to get new seats. wow I have never been to Port Hardy when it has been totally sunny and clear it would be nice for an inside passage cruise right now.

I don't think I have ever driven from Victoria on the Coho but I have come back on the Coho which is probably why I have never heard of them doing it that way!

You think it would be easier to park in Bremerton then Bainbridge? I thought there was a lot pretty close to the terminal? If I took the 6:10am Coho do you think I could make the 9:45am out of Bremerton? I think it might be close so I would probably plan on the 11:10am from Bremerton.

Would you have enough time between sailings to purchase a ticket for the next one?? Would I get looks from security if I did a roundtrip on each boat? lol! I take it in the terminals they have security people standing there? What is the area around the Bremerton Terminal like is it a good area where the parking is?? I just remember last time I was in Bremerton I dident think it was all that nice of an area. Might of changed though now as I havent been there in years!

Does anyone know the procedure in Victoria when taking the Coho when you drive on??? Has anyone ever used the reservation site online?? Do you pay when you reserve or do you pay at the booth when you get there??

I think it is dumb for people to buy the Sidney and just let it sit there and rot. I dont know what is with these people. Might as well have just taken her to india to be scrapped.

I am not saying back and forth. Alot of people do day trips. I am just saying the schedules suck you either have not enough time or too much time on the islands but the price to get there I would rather stay longer than only be able to go for like 4 hours or so. It is the same with the San Jaun Islands the schedules suck over there too.

Just like right now with the Coastal Celebration always stays on route 1 but she is pretty much the same as the others except for the Pacific Buffet!

If you lived in Anacortes you could come to Sidney for the day but you cant do that from here which is annoying and you cant even go to Friday Harbour except in the evening from here which is also annoying. I dont like roundtrips at the best of time on BC Ferries so doing it from like Sidney to Anacortes I dont know I have gone over to Port Angeles on the Coho for the afternoon and had no problem but I dident go right back I stayed over till the last boat that night!

It really isent fun being on the Mayne Queen for like almost three hours I wish BC Ferries dident swap the ships for the summer schedule. Three hours on the Mayne Queen from Swartz Bay to Sturdies Bay via Long Harbour and Mayne is a bit rediculas but of course it is the only one on Sundays and Holiday Mondays you can take to Galiano in the mornings besides the early 6am ferry for a day trip which I want to do. The gulf island schedules really suck! And for the price you pay they should have better schedules!

What about a roundtrip between Sidney and Anacortes would that be doable??? Would there be enough time at Anacortes in between sailings to go through customs and get back on??? I have thought about doing this as I havent been on the Chelan and would like to do the Sidney route again. Might be fun to do one day.

I dont know the best place on SSI but I know the best island for ferry watching is Galiano for the route 1 ships. That is my fav island for ferry watching.

Can you charter any ship in the fleet?? If we could have a whole coastal or spirit to ourselves that would be awesome! Well who would want to film movies at night? Unless you get a ship that is not in service that day.
