BC Ferries has horrible customer service. I had decided to do a roundtrip on the SOVI this afternoon as I was on my own and wasent doing anything tonight. Apparently the 3pm was cancelled and the 2pm was running late. The SOVI dident arrive at Swartz Bay till like 4:50p which was now the 5pm. I never ended up going I got a refund as it was getting to late but over the 1hr or more I was there not a single announcement telling people what was going on. Although I used the automated ticket machine so I dident talk to anyone so maybe they were telling people. But yeah, no ferry trip for me today. So why the heck could the SOVI leave Tsawwassen and not the SOBC?

And so what do you expect them to do in the meantime with 1 boat??? The Nor Ad is ffine she isent great but she will do. I think the Chilliwack is the ulgy boat even though I like the Chilliwack it isent the greatest looking I think the Nor Ad is better! Have you sailed on the Nor Ad?? Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Wouldent it be better to move the Cumberland to Saltery Bay and have the Bowen replace the Cumberland seeing the Cumberland is bigger than the Bowen?? Or even the Capilano.

How much do you have load on your experience card to get foot passenger savings? Is it 40 or 45 or 50?

I guess that makes sense. But why does the interisland boat only run Monday to Friday during that noted schedule??

They should get her SOLAS and put her on the Sidney run that is probably all they need on that run!

Did you have to get off the boat at Lopez or were you able to stay onboard??? I would of loved to have been able to take a trip on the Chetzy in the San Juans. I want to do a trip down thee one day to get on the Evergreen State and the Yakima at some point. One thing I like about the interisland boat is it's FREE for foot passengers you could ride the ferry all day. I really want to do more WST trips. BC Ferries is getting boring now, lol!

Man I love those boats. They are my favorite of the WSF fleet. I have been on the Elwha a few times. I think right now the best interiors are the Yakima and the Kaleetan even though I have never been on those boats before I want to travel on them. Imagine if the Elwha was full and every seat was taken I bet they have never been like before where they have been totall full up with no seats at all. lol! So the Supers were not built in Seattle?? Sorry I dont know much about WSF. Where were they built??

I am thinking of going up soon to get on the Chilliwack! You should of done a morning sailing then you could of got the bunwich! lol! That crossing time is pretty good dosent he Burnaby take 1hr 20 to cross. The Wack is 5 mins slower I thought they list the crossing time as 1hr 40mins, lol! Last time I was on her she did the Powell River to Comox in about 1hr and 25mins.

The SOVI is listed doing a 12pm and 2pm sailing today as she is on Fridays and Sundays too for the next few weeks so I dont think she is going anywhere to drydock. Later in November both Coastals will be running route 1 with the two Spirits out of service. That will be a good time to go to Galiano for photos.

I dont think I will be going now as it's too late anways. The Chetzy will be around fo years to come so I aint in a big hurry to get on that boat right now. I really want to do the Evergreen State but I will get down there eventually.

I was actually thinking of driving down tommorrow to Anacortes to ride the Evergreen State and thought the Chetzy too but it would be too hard to do both in a day. So I dont know if I will go I might just wait till I can do an overnight trip.

BC Ferries really need to get rid of that stupid Smart Start Breakfast Sandwich and bring back the Breakfast Bunwich! That would be so much better!

Typical stupid BC Ferries management. They have her running every other weekend but when a busy Thanksgiving weekend comes around she is sitting idle! That really makes sense!

She isent showing up on Siitech either which is odd as I thought she might be in for refit or something even with the Burnaby out of service in Esquimalt she is still showing up on Siitech.

I could tell you which one it is just by the time of day it is if you told me the time as I pretty much know the route 1 schedules and ships.
