I asked a marine engineer, he figured it partially houses the hydraulics for the ramp, plus overhead stuff like firefighting equipment directed towards cars

 

Now we're getting somewhere!

Overhead Bars is trying to displace Mike K's Blizzards at Tinto Rocks this year.

 

Jets Overhead with John Tesh would be a great double-bill at Tinto Rocks. Somebody make it happen.

They invited Gun Control to come play as well, but they couldn't get across the border.

B.C. Ferries seeks better dry-dock access for repairs

The company plans to award contracts called master services agreements to more than one company starting in the second quarter of this year.
 
 
 
I propose they just dam Deas Dock.

Yah - caught the 0900 ex Tsawwassen this morning - it was pretty lumpy.  i wondered if they were going to start cx-ing sailings.


Say, what's that mountain goat doing up here in the mist?

Also, a beef:

Sandwiches..”Sorry, our contract with BreadGarden has lapsed - would you like a burger instead?” Doesn’t cut it any more - you’ve been faffing around with the lapsed contract for ~ 9 months now.  It's not like the end date sprang up out of the bushes and surprised you!  Why don’t/didn’t you have a plan in place?

 

There are those of us out here who would like a soup and sandwich combo for lunch rather than a heavy meal…

Over six months after it was pulled from service, the Coastal Renaissance was quietly returned to service at the beginning of March.

 

The Coastal Renaissance was taken out of service for repairs on Aug. 16, with BC Ferries first estimating it would take weeks for the repair to be complete.

 

Once it was pulled in for repairs, the scope of the issue became clearer with the company then adjusting the timeline for the return to be in October, then December, then finally in March.

 

BC Ferries tells CHEK News the Coastal Renaissance returned to service on March 4.
