Sailing Cancellations

[Ferryman]

It's supposed to get pretty windy over the next few days, so expect some sailing cancellations. The winds have started on the coast already.....

Sailing Cancellations, Campbell River-Quadra Island, Powell River Queen

Posted November 14, 2006

Due to heavy weather conditions, the 9:00 pm sailing from Quadra Island and the 9:30 pm sailing from Campbell River are cancelled.

Weather permitting, the 10:00 pm sailing from Quadra and the 10:30 pm sailing from Campbell River will operate on schedule.

around 11:30pm there was a service notice saying the last sailing from Duke Point was cancelled and also there was no 9:10pm sailing out of TSA so I assume that was cancelled to but no mention of that one. Be pretty cool if it was a stormy trip tommorrow!

Route 30:

The Queen of Coquitlam will sail at 12:45 p.m. from Tsawwassen to Duke Point.

The other Duke Point - Tsawwassen vessel the Queen of Vancouver remains tied up at Duke Point at this time.

A determination on further scheduled sailings on the Duke Point - Tsawwassen run will be made later in the afternoon.

[Koastal Karl]

I would of liked to have been on that 12:45 Coquitlam sailing to Duke Point. Would be interesting and wild! lol!

[Ferryman]

Good thing we didn't do a round trip on the Coquitlam today though. She's not going back to Tsawwassen now.

[Koastal Karl]

ok so it looks like the Queen of Saanich departed Swartz Bay about 7:15pm for TSA as the SOVI had some mechanical difficulties and was at TSA for a bit and dident leave TSA till about 6:56pm bound for SB. Which makes her 5pm sailing just under 2 hours late so they send the Saanich out and I assume the SOVI will be tied up at SB when she arrives like around 8:30 pm as the SOBC is the 9pm out of SB which will be late which means the Saanich will do the 9pm from TSA I would assume. Looks like the Oak Bay is about 30 mins behind the Cowichan on route to Departure Bay as the Cowichan is running almost 2 hours behind the 5pm left at 6:47pm from HSB and the Oak Bay left at 7:15pm so there should be two ferries arriving at Departure Bay a half hour apart. Not sure if the Cowichan will go back to HSB as the 9pm is the Oak Bay from DB unless there is alot of leave behinds. The Coquitlam on route 30 should sail from Duke Point at 8:15pm and the Vancouver at 9:10pm TSA. Service has been restored to Bowen Isand and the Texada run has been suspended due to high winds but the Burnaby is still running which should cause some conflict at Powell River when the Burnaby comes in.

does anybody know that due to the storm today... are any ferries closed?

[Barnacle]

Lopez Island was a discretionary stop down here; no other closures noted...
