Hi everyone. Use the comments here to arrange your carpools for ferry crossings..etc. Make sure you check your travel arrangements with www.bcferries.com 1-888-223-3779.
You can make reservations but you need to be there 1/2 hour in advance. There is park and ride, and you can have a cool buffet breakfast on board 16.95 …
Hopefully everyone can coordinate their travel and we can have these caravans of baristas heading across the ocean to Victoria.
