The SOVI is running as the #1 boat for today only. I wonder why?? The Celebration is not running today. That seems odd for today only.

Oh, never mind, it was a rerun, apparently, that I was watching... This past week's regularly scheduled episode included a visit to Nanaimo BC for Rick to meet the Royal Canadian Marine Search And Rescue unit. - and that segment was taped sometime in summer 2013. |

The CCGC segment was filmed in October last year, I think. It originally aired when I was at sea on the grand banks, so I'm not in it at all. |

One photo of the Spirit of Vancouver Island operating as the third boat on route one. I am posting because it looks cool with the foggy mountains in the background.  |

This week's walkthrough is a race against the clock on the Spirit of Vancouver Island during her arrival at Tsawwassen a few months back.
Next Time: The Queen of Capilano.
