Now THAT was a 'blast from the past' and probably one that could easily win the 'shortest and most obscure' post contest any day! That sound blew me back to June 14th 1964..Yikes a rooney!

They have a chime like that on the SOBC and the SOVI now don't they?? I don't think it's exactly the same but I know I have heard it.

Total long shot but does anyone out possibly have audio recording of when Barry Bowman did the voice for public announcement aboard BC Ferries?

We're starting to get some one-off threads that appear to be related, so I'm consolidating them into this thread.

Here is a recent recording of the Safety Announcement on an Island Class vessel.
This was heard on Island Kwigwis on a trip from Gabriola Island to Nanaimo on February 5, 2024.

That plays on every twenty minute crossing to and from Gabriola? From what you suggested in one of your recent posts, there might be a lot more need for safety warnings for people venturing through downtown Nanaimo to get the ferry. Glad you lived to tell about it, Mike.

From what you suggested in one of your recent posts, there might be a lot more need for safety warnings for people venturing through downtown Nanaimo to get the ferry. Glad you lived to tell about it, Mike. Somehow we managed to survive... If I would have been in the spacious deck-2 indoor passenger lounge, I'd have been able to learn if there was a video-screen graphic to accompany the audio of the safety announcement. Perhaps some things are best kept a mystery. But in all seriousness, it was a good day for a trip with my sister to Gabriola. She is very much into beaches for the rocks and driftwood, and we had fun at both Descanso Bay Regional Park and Drumbeg Provincial Park. Drumbeg Park is on the southeast corner of Gabriola, across a narrow channel from the north tip of Valdes Island. There are views down the "Corridor" of outside islands, down the east coasts of Valdes, Galiano and with the mountains of Orcas Island in the far distance (and probably a view to Mt. Baker, on a non-cloud day). I'm so accustomed to Gabriola's north-west corner as a "Nanaimo-centric" view, and I forget that the opposite corner is the start of the southern Gulf Islands. In other spots on the south side of Gabriola Island, there are views down the sound that is between the outer islands (Valdes, Galiano) and the inner group of islands (Mudge, Link, DeCourcy, etc). For a map nerd like me, it's a fascinating place.

For a map nerd like me, it's a fascinating place. One of my daughters lives in Courtenay, the other in Surrey, and me in White Rock. We alternate our meetups between the mainland and the Island. Leaving the car at Tsawwassen, we've met up at Duke Point and gone to Gabriola, Newcastle, Dodd Narrows (amazing) and a couple of times to Westwood Lake. Gabriola is nice, but unlike Hornby the vast majority of it is private, and exploring the parks there twice felt like enough. When I look at a map of Gabriola, the protected parkland and trail network is a bit underwhelming. Really like Mad Rona's, though. The island I really want to explore is Saturna. Seven hours there one day last August wasn't anywhere near enough.

Really like Mad Rona's, though. It's such a perfect name for a gulf island business. It took me a while to get the reference in the name, but I eventually figured it out. My sister loved that place (I usually go to Nester's Market, pretending to be hip. I need to learn the slow cafe way of life...)

Judging by the eyerolls from my girls, I think it gets to be more of an impossible challenge the more sweat stained our Tilleys get. We just wear our age, no matter how hard we struggle.
