More of the Alberni arriving at and departing from Departure Bay in the evening of March 11, 2012. I love the scene of a ferry sailing past that tip of Newcastle Island....  With a seaplane    |

:)this transformation shot off deltaport, covers the period of the transformation of our ferry fleet to the so-called private model, and the change of our port to a major boxboat hub! mrdot.  |

Queens of Oak Bay and Alberni, seen on Easter afternoon 2012, from atop Sugarloaf Mountain. Evidently only one vessel is allowed to be near the entrance of the bay at a time, and so Alberni slowed and waited outside for 10 minutes or so while a slightly-late Oak Bay departed the bay. - another reason why Duke Point is needed. Alberni is wasting time while Oakie leaves the bay   Alberni heading in.   |

A similar situation happened back in February, when I was on the departing Queen of Coquitlam, and the ' Alberni was waiting for us to clear the entrance to the bay. As we passed her, she gave a short blast of her horn. The ' Alberni waiting for the ' Coquitlam to clear the entrance to the bay.  Back underway as we pass her.  |

This is odd. Active Pass would seem to be a riskier place than the narrows of Departure Bay, so why is it any different? They both receive fairly heavy marine traffic too.

Queen of Alberni approaching Duke Point at 7:00am on May 5, 2012. - I'm at Jack Point park in order to photograph the arriving cruise ship Norwegian Pearl. A comparison of ships. Looks like they are lined up at the start of a race. - they are both waiting for Quinsam to pass by.    |
