I bought a four day sailpass and tried to do as many minor routes as possible. I did managa to catch the 2 ferries on the Buckley Bay run, and that was a huge bonus! -I managed to go on the 2 ferries each way, so I have all 4 possible shots of the ferries passing each other! I only got the Klitsa and Kahloke coming into Denman though. This day was really fun and I had a great time! Klitsa with only 1 car and me!- This sailing was almost empty because it was the second sailing before the 20 minute break, so the Kahloke had taken most of the traffic! Denman Queen heading to Denman-Does anyone know what happened to the Klitsa's builder's plaque? Her designers plaque is there, but the one that should be below the bridge is not. You can even see where it is supposed to go. Would it say Denman Queen on it though? That would be sort of cool as her originally run was one Denman Island

Some more pictures of Klitsa, taken by Hullnumbers. At Brentwood Bay. Approaching Brentwood Bay. I just noticed that her solid gate has been replaced with a more standard folding gate, though this one's black instead of the more common white ones.

Yesterday, I had my first trip on the Klitsa with it being on the Mill Bay route. The last time I had probably been on it, was in 2007, the day of the Kuper's Open House in Chemainus. Klitsa has changed only a little bit though over the last 4 years. This wasn't a planned trip, since I was heading for Victoria over the Malahat only to discover it was closed due to an accident. Well, the dumbest part was that I live on Salt Spring Island, and could have taken the Skeena from Fulford. But usually it's actually more convenient from where I live on Salt Spring to travel via Vesuvius. Plus it's more of a gamble going via Fulford, because the sailings are usually full in the mornings. So the Mill Bay ferry was my alternative routing for this mistake, and also a fairly costly one. Of course I didn't expect to make it on with my car right away, but I managed to make it on the 11:35am sailing as a foot passenger since the lineup for cars was down the road, and it was mayhem trying to get near the terminal as people were driving like idiots to get close to the dock. But, little did a lot of them know it was probably a 3 sailing wait until they would get on, since the highway was expected to re-open by 2:00pm. Once onboard the Klitsa, I recognized the crew right away as the Master and Mate were both working on the Mill Bay for her final day on May 1st. There was a second Mate there as well, who was being familiarized as a regular Mate for that vessel who used to work on Salt Spring. Needless to say, this was a PACKED sailing. I think there was about 20 vehicles onboard all told. I didn't really count, but there was literally only about 3-5 inches of space between bumpers of every vehicle. to walk the beam of the vessel, you had to squeeze your way to the bow or stern and cross over to the other side in order to get to where you wanted to be. There was no walking between the cars except to follow the lanes. I only managed to take one photo yesterday with my Blackberry though, so here's how it looked. I took a cab from Brentwood Bay to the Bay Center in Downtown victoria, which was $49.00. I had an appointment to meet to recieve travel vaccinations for my trip to the Dominican Republic in just over 3 weeks. I managed to get a ride back to my car in Mill Bay in the evening from my Girlfriends mom. So, why not, lets ride this little tub again. Yep, I did another voyage to Brentwood Bay on its last sailing of the day, this time with my vehicle to take advantage of "The Islands most beautiful shortcut". I was planning on staying in Victoria anyways, so it was a nice way to end the day, even though the ship was running half an hour late. This is also my Girlfriends favourite ferry as she couldn't stop calling it "cute". I spent some time in the bridge as well, and it was modernized quite nicely I must say.

A telescopic view of the Klitsa at Brentwood Bay, taken from the Malahat lookout on Friday. It's not the clearest, but I'm just surprised that the camera stays in focus on subjects this far away!
