Two #BCFerries sailings on the main route (Vancouver<>Victoria) are late today due to mechanical issues. Another opportunity to note that federal funding support for BC Ferries is minimal compared to Atlantic coast support. islandsocialtrends.ca/bc-ferries-s... | #VancouverIsland #transportation

On the move again, #BCFerries’ Island 9 is moving through Victoria’s inner harbour to Point Hope Maritime shipyard, where she’ll receive final outfitting, be christened with her official name, and be welcomed into the fleet. #ships #boats #ferries

When you’re so excited that you forget the hashtags… 😅

Almost there! Island 9 has picked up her pilot and is on approach to Victoria Harbour.

Around Cape Flattery and into the Strait of Juan de Fuca… Island 9 is nearly home! #ships #boats #ferries #BCFerries

Island 9 is passing the mouth of the Columbia River, and the border of Oregon and Washington State. Just one more chunk of the USA and she’ll arrive in her home waters! #Ships #Boats #Ferries #BCFerries

Island 9 is now off the Oregon coast, sailing closer to land, which will hopefully keep her within range of shore-based AIS receivers. #Ships #Boats #Ferries #BCFerries

Eureka! We have found her! Island 9, that is. Just off Eureka, California. Also off AIS.

Well that was a quick splash-and-dash. Island 9 has departed Los Angeles on the final leg of her transoceanic journey, and is bound for her new destination: Victoria, BC! #ships #boats #ferries #BCFerries
