Scene:
- An inner-city school's classroom.
- Flugel Hornshack sitting in classroom desk, amidst his fellow Coastal-SweatHogs.
Action:
- Mr. Kotter asks if anyone has an idea of what company will be providing the water taxi service.
- Flugel Hornshack puts up his hand in a flailing motion saying "Oh Mr. Kotter, Mr. Kotter, Mr. Kotter".........
- At this point, Coastal-Epstein and Coastal-Barbarino blurt out "Coastal Link Ferries".
Epilogue:
- Mr. Kotter says: "We don't know for sure. You're just making a guess here".
----------------------
Stay tuned for next week's episode where another BC Ferries service notice is played-out by the cast of "The White Shadow", starring Coastal-Cafe-Salami.

And it is pronounced Mista Kot-ter with a thick Brooklyn accent of sorts.

Just wondering if anyone can confirm / deny that Coastal Link's MV Coastal Runner was the mysteryious "Charter Vessel 3".
Or was it the usual boat from Cormorant Water Taxi at Snug Cove providing the mid-December Capilano-replacement service?
