I just checked the route 1 and there is a 3 sailing wait and two midnight sailings have been added from both sides! I dident know there was a 4 sailing wait early! I was out most of the day and just heard it on the radio. I couldent believe it when I found out! Not the Oaky! Poor girl! I havent seent he photos or anything yet but I am going to check that out! If I only could of been up flying today I could of got some photos! But I dont know if we could of flown over it as with everything going on there, I dont think they would want small planes flying around! Tsawwassen is cloged right now! This came at the worse possible time just like the

holey crabapple, could you imagine if you were on that dock that you can walk out on when the Oaky was coming in, straight into the marina! Or sitting in that resturant that you walk by when you walk out on the dock! That would been a neat, but also kinda aweful sight to see! Where is Oaky now??
Good photos prqueen kid! I am hoping to catch it on the news tonight!

Well, I would enjoy that. She was coming in pretty slow so you had plenty of time to get off.

I don't think they even had her in the berth. I was watching that webcam for a while and she just left.... Maybe I missed something?

CTV is live showing the ramps come down getting ready to get the cars off I think, unless I missed that already.

CTV just called the Cappie the Bowen Queen! The tugs are still trying to push her in the dock though.

I guess they will be kicking the Coq and Cow up to 25 knots or something.
I just looked at the Webcam at Duke Point, They need to get the Queen of Saaninch or Vancouver up there to do some extra Sailings , and kick the New West up to her top speed which is what? 30 Knots?

I doubt it, CTV said BCF is going to start to cut off the line at Tsawwassen, and make everyone wait till tomorrow.

They said the 10:45 to Duke Point from Tsawwassen is already full! They cant run ferries all night on route 30 but they could on route 1 and 2 if they have to!

Tsawwassen is still got a 4 sailing wait. Route 2 seems to be fine from Departure Bay as there is no waits. Horseshoe Bay even says there is no waits unless the current conditions are wrong! Tsawwassen is the main problems now as we have 4 sailing waits. I doubt they would bring the Esquimalt down!
I guess everyone really did go to Tsawwassen!
