Me?
Queen of Vancouver, and I was offered the Skeena Queen, but denied it, I was too shy to drive a small vessel like that.

NML has driven 18 out 35 in the fleet. With the exception of the four retired, so that comes to a total of 22. That'd be cool!

Some interior photos of the Queen of The Islands, Langdale Queen and Sechelt Queen would be neat to see.

Yeah, only one pic of the lounges on the Jervis Queen and the Sechelt Queen.
Some interior pics of the Langdale Queen, Smokwa and the Quillayute would be neat to see, but I doubt any exist anymore.

When you say you have driven ferries I am assuming you mean taking the wheel not actually driving them all by yourself using all the other controls and so on?? This definately is a saftey concern, LOL!!!
