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.
