We're going with this one, on the 10:00 a.m. Note that departure is from the Horseshoe Bay ''government dock'', not the BC Ferries terminal, and that you need to call 604-921-7451 for a reservation at least one hour prior to sailing. -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 02:32, 25 April 2009 (UTC).

Pros and Cons

Looks like the Victoria one will involve a few hours on a bike. Just saying. -- Rhonda 02:14, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Ha ha ha! Wade said I should post that on your page, but I didn't want to unduly influence you.

You don't have nearly as much influence on me as my sore tailbone does. I'm not looking at my bike for a couple of days. -- Rhonda 03:13, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

49N is better because

  • Wade has always wanted to go to Camp Artaban
  • I like to score points for my home graticule when able
  • This one has no cycling
  • I've been to Victoria lots of times
  • We'll get home in time for an evening event.

48N is better because

  • Golf course parking lot is a guaranteed easy coordinates reached
  • Ferry total cost is $30 per cyclist as opposed to $50 each for water bus
  • Ferry food is tasty (but will negate the cost difference above!)
  • Ferries are reportedly more reliable

We're going with this one, on the 10:00 a.m. Note that departure is from the Horseshoe Bay government dock, not the BC Ferries terminal, and that you need to call 604-921-7451 for a reservation at least one hour prior to sailing. -Robyn 02:32, 25 April 2009 (UTC).
