Just wondering if anyone has heard any updates to the current status of the Queen of Coquitlam. Its odd that she is not listed anywhere on the RBI.  |

I believe she is sitting at the North Vancouver Drydocks right now. It is probably her annual refit.

Yes, I can confirm that she is in the drydock...as we were down there on Sunday. Another interesting thing was going on inside the CFI building...they are building some sort of ship. Could it be the new "I" Class ship, or "did we already discuss this in so and so thread on page 13 reply #77"?

Coquitlam arrived back at Departure Bay this evening...
She will be taking the Cowichan's place as of the 9th to allow her to go in for annual refit.

Interesting I saw the Coquitlam today as I was on the Cowichan's 5pm sailing from HSB and the Coquitlam crossed behind us heading towards North Van.

Maybe the QofCoq was on a sea trial...testing repairs/replacement parts.
