An ailing Coastal Celebration sits out the busy Christmas-New Year holiday period with a visit to Nanaimo's Departure Bay Terminal, an unusual spot for this ship. I gather that it needs a replacement part that has to come from Europe and that it will be a few months before the fix is done.

I think it's time they got rid of the winter Olympics decals. Hasn't it been twelve years now? A horizontal skier doesn't really add anything to the boat's appearance. So they've decided to stop running the ' Celebration around the south end of Saturna. Thankfully this breakdown occurred in the off season, but I imagine it might affect refit schedules. |

I don’t mind the nature landscape decals on Coastal Class but I believe the sports one should be replace with animals or parks of British Columbia or due what they did with Salish Class. |

Yes indeed those 2010 winter Olympic wraps are way past due for retirement. I recall my brother (Mr DOT) pointing this out frequently in 2011. I can only assume BCFS is seeking to avoid the cost of refinishing those parts of the vessels currently covered up by the decals. They are looking just a bit tired. |

Closing in on 'home' at Swartz Bay, in August, last summer ...
Coastal Celebration approaches its berth @ Swartz Bay Terminal near the end of a morning run from the mainland.

Is the CCel running single ended on Route 30?

Why can the coastal Celebration travel at normal speed on the normal route on route #30 but not transit the Active Pass on Route #1

Why can the coastal Celebration travel at normal speed on the normal route on route #30 but not transit the Active Pass on Route #1 The C-Cel currently has a mechanical issue that hampers its ability to safely operate in the constricted waters of Active Pass. Nothing like Active Pass exists on route 30. Others more knowledgeable about this than I could maybe explain the situation better. |

Is the CCel running single ended on Route 30? Nope, it doesn't appear to be, according to Marine Traffic track histories, anyways. |

Coastal Celebration on the 'high seas' about 10 minutes away from Duke Point Terminal near Nanaimo. She's looking a little weather-beaten & in need of TLC.

Do the coastal class boats have a secondary horn? I noticed this rare sounding sort of double almost triple horn on one of these vessels a few months ago? Is this a feature these vessels have that I was not aware of? Here is the link to one of my videos which, I have set up to start playing right around where this bizzare horn is in the video. |

I've seen your video before, I assumed that it was the Queen of New Westminster since the QoNW was departing in the clip prior to that. Sounds a lot like the new west to me. |

I've seen your video before, I assumed that it was the Queen of New Westminster since the QoNW was departing in the clip prior to that. Sounds a lot like the new west to me. It sounds like one end sounded its whistle then the other end also sounded its whistle, and the lowest tone cuts out after a second or two. Definitely not the New Westminster, though the two higher tones do sound similar… I also have no idea why they’d sound both ends? |

The Coastal Celebration left Departure Bay around 1 am. Looks like she's now in drydock in Vancouver.
