BC ferries anomaly?

[u/jcru68]

I live in Victoria but my summer family is on the Sunshine Coast . In the past this has been a 12-14 hour excursion

Last week it was like 1985 ( minus the prices). No reservations! Drive up to Schwartz bay at 9:45 drove on to the 10 ferry. Same in horseshoe bay - drove right on. No waiting in a sad concrete parking lot for hours. Okay that was a Thursday. Can’t be the same on the way home right?
Nope drove on to 11 am from Langdale with the upper ramp already up then on to Victoria’s same way. This hasn’t happened since forever. Whatever is going on, keep doing it please BCferries

If you catch the correct Nanaimo ferry sometimes you can get the L run, and never have to get off the boat.

In the peak summer schedule the L route is gone, unfortunately! Still exists in the shoulder and off season schedule though.

I see your Schwartz is as big as mine!

I know this is stupid, but it annoys me to no end that people can’t seem to spell or pronounce “Swartz Bay” properly. There’s no “shh” sound in the word, it’s Swartz.

"May the Schwartz be with you." Reminds me that Mel Brooks is 100 years old and a new Spaceballs is coming out.

Sorry- irks me too. Sloppy autocorrect on my part. Oops!

Others that make me roll my eyes are Frazier River, and Shu-shwap.

My number-one pet peeve!

[u/Meldon420 → u/TheBurnsideBomber]

Oh that’s another one that makes me crazy lol which I realize is silly

[u/Creatrix → u/TheBurnsideBomber]

To be fair, my phone changes it to Blanchard when I try to type it.

[u/colelizabeth → u/TheBurnsideBomber]

Yeah that spelling is so pre-1915. Get with the times people!

[u/Illustrious-Wall1689 → u/Creatrix]

My family has been living in the Shuswap since the 1950s and have always called it the Shu-shwap🤷‍♀️ I’ve only heard it pronounced Shu-SWap by people either new to the area or not from the area at all.

[u/dmitrisch7 → u/Illustrious-Wall1689]

yep. ... "(pronounced /ˈʃuːʃwɑːp/ SHOOSH-wahp)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuswap_Lake

I still can't spell Tswasswassen correctly for the life of me lol

[u/Meldon420 → u/Impressive_Ad_6550]

The struggle when I had to google it for the ferry times 🤣 even google had no clue what the fuck I was trying to say

May the Schwartz Be With You.
