Got up last saturday @ 0130 and drove up to Tsawwassen, caught the Queen of Alberni @ 0515 and took her to Duke Point. Rode the Coastal Inspiration back to Tsawwassen and then boarded the Spirit of Vancouver Island to Swartz Bay. Caught the Mayne Queen to Gabriola, saw quite a few Orcas along the way, returned to Tsawwassen aboard the Queen of Nanaimo.

Looking forward to heading back up to B.C. this weekend, have our hotel booked in Powell River. Leaving from Poweel River to Comox and taking the ferry back from Nanaimo. Should be a great trip!

Rhody, I hope you have fun & good-weather in my area of the world. I will be interested in your observations on the ferry Island Sky, which presumably you'll ride on your way up to Powell River. - a good comparison to the Chetzemoka. Assuming that you're doing what we call the "Sunshine Coast Circle Route", you will qualify for a reduced fare using what is known as the "Circle Pack". www.bcferries.com/travel_planning/circlepac/index.html- you have to buy this on the first leg of your journey.

Flugel Horn, I'm looking forward to riding the Island Sky & comparing it to the Chetzemoka. (Does it have a list?) ;D Planning on riding the Queen of Surrey, Queen of Chilliwack, Kahloke and the Queen of Oak Bay as well.

If you're going to be riding the Kahloke, then you'll also need to ride the Quinitsa twice. - Kahloke is between Denman & Hornby Islands, but you need to get to Denman Island (using the Quinitsa) first.
