It looks like the upcoming refit season should be especially interesting, considering it could quite likely be the last major refits of our 2 remaining "B" class vessels, the Queen of Burnaby and Queen of Nanaimo.
The BCF reservations page shows the Island Sky serving on route 17 starting Oct 29 right through 'til the Little River and Westview dock reconstruction is complete in March. The Burnaby is shown operating on route 9 from Oct 26 to Dec 18 relieving the Nanaimo. After that, I assume the Burnaby will go into refit.
I hope to travel on the Burnaby on route 9 at least a couple times during that period.

where is the Chilliwack why isent she replacing the Burnaby? Every time the Chilliwack works on Route 17 there is always bad press. (usually around the time a southeasterly blows) So this Refit Season and when the Berth Replacement goes ahead they're using the Island Sky... We'll see how well that turns out soon enough. The Chilliwack meanwhile will likely work Route 7 for the first time in a couple years.

Well I am sure there will be a bad press when the Island Sky is on that route. Small boat, no food service unless they are gonna have some sort of food service while she is on route 17. I would be tempted to do a round trip just to see. Excited the Burnaby is gonna be on route 9 again though. Few more trips on here will in the mix too!
