We
departed Port Angeles on the Ferry “Coho” and arrived on Vancouver Island about
an hour later. We are visiting Canada
for 26 days. Fourteen of those days will
be on Vancouver Island and the rest will be in the southern part of British
Columbia. That’s the only part of Canada
we will be exploring on this trip.
We
arrived at the ferry depot and we were directed to the front of the line in the
4th row. After the 1st
row was loaded onto the ferry, they skipped rows 2 & 3 and then it was our
turn. Our row was all the RV’s, trailers
and trucks. It’s amazing how many cars
and trucks they can fit onto the ferry. There is a system they use to balance the load and only they know how it all comes together. On this ferry we enter one end and exited the
other end.
It took us less than an hour and we were in Canada. It
was a slow process to exit the ferry because we had to go through customs. They questioned us about firearms, drugs, mace,
etc and fruit and liquor. Yes, we had
liquor and we have apples…from Costco.
Oh, well, “Costco is okay” he says, “as long as they are not hand-picked
from backyard trees.” We are now
officially in Canada, Vancouver Island that is.
