Friday 24th July, Port Hardy: ferry dubious call…

  • Covered today: 498km (on ferry)
  • Much angst about ethics of taking a ferry as part of a roadtrip.
  • 3am start to catch ferry down to Vancouver Island, trying to make it to wedding on Saturday.
  • We made it on to the ferry. Small miracle. Though not quite as small as a motorbike (we lied and said that the sidecar was detachable. About as detachable as my burgeoning arse!)
  • Drop a bombshell on Mike during the ride: have to get to Nanaimo ferry to meet mates the next day at 9am. Nothing too concerning about that, I hear you say… not until you realize that it’s a 7 hour drive from where we dock. At midnight.
  • Mike did the math. I slept in the sidecar.

    Hello Mike and Alanna,

    Love the update from Canada… West coast! I’ve never seen the West Coast and I love love stories. Especially along with yours! So, good luck, and hope you made the wedding. Go troupers– 3am to get the ferry! Wow!
