I remember one memory, its a little more recent but it was the first day of service for the new vessel MV Salish Raven, I took my first pictures ever that day, I remember I was so excited to board the ferry I was so happy, as soon as we got onboard I jumped out of our car and rushed up the stairs with my camera ready, I wandered around the ferry and took pictures of the ship. We had dinner in the cafeteria as always, and then when we got to sturdies bay I went outside and recorded the new ferry arriving at Sturdies Bay Ferry Terminal, and I was running back and fourth up and down the stairs to find the best spot to record the vessels arrival at the terminal. Mean while while I was doing that my brother who was 9 at the time was "screwing around" with a friend and they were doing something they should never have done. SPITTING DOWN BELOW ONTO THE VEHICLE DECK!. His friend did it first and then right as my brother was about to do it his friend gently pushed him and it caused his spit to land on a crew member down below. I remember my brother and his friend ran inside, and then the crew member who was spit on said "hey you was that you that spit on me", and I said "no that was my brother I will go get him right away". My parents were not happy with my brother, and he ended up almost having to write an apology letter to the crew for the incident on the vessels first day of service, he apologized to the crew member he accidently spit on. It was a day, and my brother never did anything like that again. Interesting story though, I have others to.
