For me it would have to be the Cumberland that I have been on the most! I mostly try to take a Cumberland sailing when going to the Gulf Islands if I can!

Explain your trips with BCFerries Minor Vessels, like I did, you can do up to 5, more if you want, but I expect no more than 5 trips on the board, you can, but I don't expect it, and that is just to save time, I do not expect a big long list from you all, just a description of the ferry trips of yours

Minor vessels: without hesitation, Q of Capilano is my near-favourite. (though I love Tenaka best). Q of Capilano's my most-travelled ship, for sure. In foul weather:  -- or fine, she's a happy boat. Q of Capilano carries odd loads, sometimes:  Her best feature is her destination. Bowen Island is hardly exotic, but on a Saturday morning, I truly recommend this therapy for metro Vancouver residents. Ditch yer car at Horseshoe Bay (10 bucks parking). Ride Capilano; walk to Killarney Lake, or Dorman Point. Stroll an island road. Maybe you'll have a happy surprise--  -- or maybe you will be soaked in a typical Bowen rainstorm  -- and be comforted by Bowen folks:  Best of all, after a taco on the wharf, a wander around the old cottages, and a hike in the ancient rainforest; here comes Queen Of Capilano.  |

I have only been on the Skeena Queen, yet, she is a nice vessel, but I did not like the 'too loud' horn and also my brother went up to the bridge to see the captain, NOT FAIR!
Anyway I hope that Quinsam will be just as good if not better trip next week if I am going to gabriola(With Harry again)!

I've been on most of the minor vessels, but like Brian, the most would have to be the Queen of Capilano. I usually go to Bowen Island at least once a year... and of course I did a week of work experience on her in 1997 too. Last time I went was last November Route: Horseshoe Bay - Bowen Island Ferry: Queen of Capilano Weather: cloudy, cold, rainy Purpose of Trip: Day trip Ferries Seen: Queen of Surrey, Queen of Coquitlam. Next most often would probably be the Powell River Queen or Bowen Queen, then Queen of Cumberland or Mayne Queen or Kaholke or Quinitsa. P.S. to Brian: If we're ever on the same ferry to Bowen Island, at least I'll recognize your dog! Looks like a nice dog.. until last year I had a border collie that was similar in size and looks to your dog, and your pics bring back memories of taking her to Bowen Island a few times too! |
