I'm not sure which spook this is, so I'll pick the older spook's thread: - seen at Sidney Spit, in late August 2011.  ------------ Late edit: - Scott has explained to me why this is actually the SOVI: "it has two satellites located midship" Scott knows his stuff.... |

I could tell you which one it is just by the time of day it is if you told me the time as I pretty much know the route 1 schedules and ships.

SOVI minutes after tie up in Berth 3, yesterday (Oct, 13th) at Swartz Bay.  Also, to the left of the Coastal Celebration, a lot of her lights are turned off when she's tied up  |

I was on the 2:00pm sailing, sorry mean the 3:17 sailing to the island. The winds where light then within 30 sec (no joke) they were hitting 70 to 90 with gusts. Have some photos and a video Of the Queen of New Wes using the dock to dock. But it Is from
my phone: a old 3GS. Plus: The one cargo ship at berth broke free and had to drop anchor, the Photos are not worth it except for the time and place.

I noticed another 2003 change, and I noticed the same thing in the SOBC set that you posted yesterday: - The periods after the big "B" and "C" on the aft hull have been removed in the new era livery. |

Just out of curiosity, what warrants 14 pages of SoBC thread, yet only 4 of SoVI? I think someone needs to get more publicity. Anyway, here's my pics of her from the Galiano trip.

 Ws travelling to Victoria with friends from Brazil. The scenery was incredible on the way over! This shot is just east of Helen Point in Active Pass. |

Some onboard photos from the Spirit of Vancouver Island, January 3, 2012 on the 3:00pm sailing from Swartz Bay The winds had picked up a bit on the Strait, which were coming from the South East. This means the ferry was running in the trough of the waves. The waves weren't anything to be concerned about, but here's a good example of why our ferries aren't designed for weather. The waves get caught up underneath the rubbing strake, and flare out from the rubbing strake. It's always a little dramatic looking, and it rattles the ship with every bounce, but it's nothing to be concerned about. It's fun to take photos of to make it look more serious than it really is.    |

It appears that both of the Spirit's aren't operating on the Swartz Bay - Tsawwassen route now.
If you look at the Swartz - Tsawwassen tracker on BC Ferries website.

SOVI being prepared for refit today at Swartz Bay, with Coastal Celebration arriving. Today there was a liferaft deployment. In the next day or so, she heads to Esquimalt Drydock for two months worth of work.  |

Spirit of Vancouver Island in Berth 1, Swartz Bay. Cool...that means the SOBC will have to use berth 2 for her sailings tonight since at the moment SiiTech still shows the SOVI in berth 1. |

Did I miss something? I thought the SoVI was supposed to be at EGD for her refit right now... I heard that one ship was going to be gypped out of a proper drydocking refit, but I didn't think it was the SoVI.
Or is my memory just screwing with me?

We saw one of the Spirits out in the Strait of Juan De Fuca on Friday when coming into Victoria on the Clipper. It was too far away to tell which ship it was. Was it SOVI?
