She didn't know that there was the Vic Clipper 1-2-3 or 4, she just knew about the Vic Clipper.
I vote for Aquabus, they are Quite Cute little thingys, especialy the Queen of Spuzzum (in the Seabus topic)

Well, the vic clipper 1 -> 3 are kinda crappy. bought from all over the world, and setup here. the vic 4 is kinda nice, she holds more people than the lynx. despite being older, and smaller (by 1M) she does go faster, but she burns 2800L of fuel per hour, where the lynx burn 1200( i think)

What do you have to be to become a chief officer like how many posts do you have to have?

Post by Quinsam on May 24, 2005 18:16:01 GMT -8
about 330 posts are needed, over 700 to become a captain (3 blue-stars)  |

From what I can see is you're a Deckhand from 0 to 100, then a Chief Steward from 100-250, then a chief officer from 250-500, then a Chief Engineer from 500-1000, then a Captain from 1000+

Before I post my vote and opinion in this excellent poll; a funny story about rankings:
Years ago, I was a member on a Sim game forum, which ranked members by frequency of posts. One clever, but annoying guy posted
One
Word
Per
Post
...until he achieved "master member" status.
Pretty cheesy.

I had to vote "other" because Stormaway III wasn't listed. Stormaway is operated by Kona Winds Charters, and runs from Langdale to Gambier Island, Keats Landing and Eastbourne. This is the replacement for the venerable Dogwood Princess.  It is a BCF service, sort of, because they connect with Q of Surrey (when Surrey's late, they wait), and Stormaway is listed in the BCF schedule. www.bcferries.com/schedules/mainland/lgik-current.html A sturdy, friendly and very happy boat. We have ridden a few times. On one long day last year, we rode to Keats, hiked for 3 hours, then re-boarded Stormaway for a crossing to Gambier via Langdale. They refused our offer of another fare, because they recognized our dogs. "Pay for the ride back to Langdale later, that's enough" Gotta like it. Some of the best Howe Sound views are seen from little Stormaway III:   And she takes you to really neat places:  Stormaway III is one of our real treasures, as is the Howe Sound archipelago she sails through. Only 12 miles from downtown Vancouver, this paradise (Admirals Bluff, Keats Island):  |

Stormaway looks nice, the Aquabusses are cute tiny little boats, and the Vancouver Cruise ships are totaly awesome, Quinsam is interesting, Mill bay is interesting, Queen of Saanich is old but cosey, Spirit of BC is the sunniest vessel I've ever been on, Nimpkish is kinda ugly but looks nice.
