We left Robert's Creek campground on the Sunshine coast of British Columbia, Canada during our 2022 Vacation and took the MV Malaspina Sky Ferry from Earls Cove to Saltery Bay.
It was a beautiful day. I found it very relaxing. I got more brochures and maps at the kiosk. We have taken a ferry from Earls Cove to Saltery Bay before, you can see the post here.
"Originally named Island Sky, the ship has operated on the Earl's Cove–Saltery Bay route since its first day of service for BC Ferries on February 19, 2009. However, it was used on the Powell River (Westview) - Little River (Comox) run as the replacement vessel for Queen of Burnaby while Queen of Burnaby was being refitted, and during the upgrades to both those terminals (October 2013 to March 2014). And the vessel was temporarily assigned to the Horseshoe Bay to Langdale route (March/April 2017), whilst the dock at Langdale was being upgraded.[2] The ship was renamed Malaspina Sky in a ceremony on October 24, 2019. The ship was renamed as part of a BC Ferries' initiative to standardize its naming conventions, to release the name, and to prevent confusion with the upcoming Island-class ferries being delivered in 2020.[3]"- Wikipedia
