Rare HappyInVan Posted September 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Here's a shot of the Volendam as it left Vancouver and headed into Howe Sound. I was on the fast ferry run by Hullo (the new company); coming back from Nanaimo. Scenic area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to come up with a reason to go to Vancouver just to try it out. The ferry (capacity 354 pax) cruised at 35 knots (70 kmph) comfortably in smooth waters. The Nanaimo-bound load at noon was a third full. The return trip at 4:30pm was only a quarter full in Biz and Premium class (Deck 2). About half full in Comfort class on Deck 1. I was pleased with the outing because the price was very reasonable, the seats comfortable, and the crew polite. Best views from the Premium section behind the Biz seats. The Biz pax sat facing the bare wall of the bridge. No forward windows. Do dress appropriately in bad weather. The pax muster out in the open before embarkation. Hullo does not have a terminal, as Helijet does. In Nanaimo, the dock is next to the Helijet facility. So, you can grab a seat (only a few) in the Helijet office.

Happily@Sea Posted September 15, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Volendam still south of Grand Island. Our view blocker - due 30 minutes after Volendam - is already docked like it has been the last few weeks. I wonder what they changed about their itinerary? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily@Sea Posted September 15, 2023 #11 Share Posted September 15, 2023 No rain today, the camera is panning [as usual] and most of the view is blocked - except the basin itself. I'm getting small stutters in the panning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
