I just need to get out of town for a few days to recharge & relax. Used to work & live up in PR for 4 years, so going to visit some friends & check out all the great tanks in the area.

Can somebody please remind me of the ferry schedule? It has been a few years since I made that trip and my recollection is that you spend half the day getting there...have 1 hour...then spend the other half of the day getting back.

Is it really possible to come from the Lower Mainland, see tanks and return in one day?

It is possible to come up, spend 4 or 5 hours and then head back to vancouver but it does make for a really long day

Just came back from PR & saw these tanks. Well worth the trip.

Great friends, great reefers & great hospitality.

Brad, I would highly recommend that you plan on doing an overnighter rather than a day trip. If you do a day trip, you can catch the first ferry (7:20am) and come back on the last connecting ferry (leave PR 5:25pm). You would end up getting into Pr around 11:40am and back into the Lower Mainland around 9:30pm. This would give you a max. of 4 1/2 hours in town before rushing back to the ferry at Saltery Bay.

Better off going up on Saturday and come down mid-afternoon on Sunday.

Just a suggestion from someone whose done this commute literally 100s of times since 1997.

Anthony
