R.C Models of BCFerries

[Quinsam]

I have a model of the Jervis Queen that I built a few years back

Is it big enough to put an engine in it though, maybe you can float it with us at Long lake in Nanaimo or Durrance Lake near Brentwood Bay.
Maybe Nick can bring the Quadra Queen 2 up to one of those lakes.
I can go up to Nanaimo, but meeting arrangements will take place soon.

Can someone please give me a definition of what "R.C." means?, in the context of "R.C. Models". I have no idea.

I thought maybe it was a catholic term......

[Quinsam]

im in the process of planning my 40:1 Scale (40m = 1m) Model of the lynx. made of aluminum pop cans

I have lots of pop cans, I can bring some if we would meet somewhere, how about you Nanaimo terminal, I will tell the date.
See if it is alright.

i have plenty. i was thinking about doing it in Fibreglass. cause once i make the form, i can replicate it as many times as i want.

[Quinsam]

oh, okey dokey, I would like to see us meeting at one of these lakes, Durrance lake is located at the south side of Butchart Gardens and Brentwood Bay, Long lake is near the Ramada Hotel and just south of Mostar Rd, for those that don't know, after you pass the little bridge over the highway and the Railway Tracks, there is a turning, turn there, not at Jingle Pot Rd, but go past a lake, and there is a small turning, that's going North.
Going south, turn onto Rutherford road (left)and then turn right after that, not right on Mostar, go east, not west.
I will keep us updated where we will be floating them, Where do you live Nick, maybe I will be able to know what one to be at and then we can float these ferries.

Sounds like the route to Skeeter.

[Quinsam]

I don't know, never heard of it.

I had an Interceptor 650 in england, it was a speedboat, pretty fast, Dad had a sailboat, pretty good looking too, we sailed them everywhere, Norwich boating lake, Sheringham Boating lake, dad's sailboat got stuck on a rock in the lake at sheringham, his keel was not damaged though, I saw him go into the lake, then find a submarine at the bottom!!!

[Quinsam]

Good news!! I am starting to make the Mill bay this month!
Hopefully it is finished by August 15th.

[Balfour]

I will be on Saltspring by then, but I usually do make a trip to Sydney with my friend during that time.

[Quinsam]

See if you can come down to durrance lake, it is located south of Butchart Gardens, look up map of saanich peninsula and you will find it is south of Buchart Gardens along Wallace Dr.
