I didn't realize the service would be discontinued? Is that because of the re-introduction of "The Cat" fast ferry? That scene brings back memories from when I was sailing in and out of there on the Cruise ship, Brilliance of the Seas last fall. Good times navigating back and forth on that bird-poo covered dolphin catwalk in the foreground to read the ship's drafts marks. Yep, Bay Ferries has taken that service back with the ex-Hawaiian superferry. They used to operate the old 'Cat' out of Bar Harbor. Relocating to Portland makes a lot more sense, and this fast ferry cuts the sailing time in half compared with Nova Star. It's a smaller vessel than Nova Star, too, which means this one might actually pencil out. Nova Star was simply too large a vessel for too few passengers being carried, and I think a lot of people balked at the crossing time as well as the price.

New Signature for August. This one is a very recent pic - a week ago Saturday, to be precise.

My signature for September: a sight we will no longer see. This is Princess of Acadia departing Digby, NS, a mere two days before this vessel was retired last summer.

One I did not submit for the contest this time around, so I'm using it as my signature for October instead. Queen of Nanaimo departing Village Bay earlier this summer.

I seem to be going with 3 month rotations on my signatures lately. Haven't planned it that way, but maybe I'll stick with it - we'll see. Anyway, here is my newest one: a brand new Chimacum at Bremerton

And then there was 1. For this go-around, I picked the sole surviving member of the original Spauldings built for BC Ferries. Queen of New Westminster is the last of her kind in the BC Ferries fleet. There is still Coho, of course, the original template for this design.

Haven't changed my signature in awhile. With the retirement of Clippers I & IV, I figured now would be a good time to honor those fine vessels.

It's been quite some time since I changed my signature as well. Here's a shot from June 2014 of the Spirit of Vancouver Island at dusk.

For the holidays this year, I am reprising a photo of ferry ornaments on my tree from several years ago. I say reprising, because this one won the December Flagship contest that year. Merry Christmas!

Seeing as Elwha is likely finished, my pic of her at Anacortes with Mount Baker in November is my newest signature pic. This one will stay up for awhile, maybe even for all of 2020

In light of the likely demise of Lomaiviti Princess V, I am reprising a previous signature pic of the former Queen of Nanaimo as seen off Village Bay in the summer of 2016

How do I put the signature photo in the middle?
should begin your signature image code with 'center' & finish it with '/center'. Where I have put single quotation marks put square brackets instead, as in [ & ].
