Should the Quinsam be repainted in the new colour scheme? She looks ugly in the BCferries picture don't she.  So should she be painted in the new white ghost colours? Or repainted in the old colours? Or completely left alone? |

Why not paint it? Every ship in BC Ferries should have BC Ferries colours. Expo colours are no longer BC Ferries colours.

I think she should be the only ferry in the fleet in expo colours, that would make the Gabriola ferry a little bit more special.

Special ferry for an unspecial island?

Actually the Island is special, she is the only known island spelled in spanish (Gabriola)
and Gabriola is a big island, nicknamed, the kidney bean.

I can't forget Lasqueti. These are major islands in Georgia Straight. Hernando and Valdez (corrected spelling) aren't large, but they are well known locally.

Does anybody have a recent photo of the Quinsam? And are you guys sure she hasn't been repainted yet?

I think we should stretch it, lift it, maybe add a full passenger deck? Do all this and paint her in the old pastel blue scheme.

I saw the Quinsam on Tuesday from the air and she still is in the old colors! She should be repainted in the new colors like the rest of the ferries and so should the Kwuna too!

Yeah, let's do the pastel theme. She wasn't ever in pastel blue before was she?
We should also stretch and lift the Quinsam to be a super Q class, then shrink it to make it mini C class. After that we cut it in two to make two ferries the Quin and the Sam. Those would be q class (not the small Q). Then we cut the Sam in little pieces, ship it to the Kootenays and reassemble it on the lake. Then cut the Osprey 2000 into long, thin strips and ship it to the coast and reassemble it and rename it the MV Son of Sam. The MV S of S will be painted in Expo Colours and run from Galiano to Gabriola Island.
The above makes as much sense as painting the Quinsam in a 20 year old paint scheme when every other ship is the new navy and white. It's just plain silly. Harry, you should paint your shoes in the Expo colour scheme.

She is fine in the old colours, but the rust needs to be gone.

What was that bit about sinking her or scrapping her with Harry on board. Another bloody Poll from Harry...school sounds like it is getting boring for Harry again - so I guess we should expect more of his Poll's....
