In regards to the sailing that was cancelled on Saturday, September 26, I would like to provide a few details.
The Queen of Capilano was running late due to busy traffic compounded by the paving project in the traffic staging area. We were adding two to three tandem dump trucks on each sailing, requiring additional loading time. The 4:45 p.m. sailing left 30 minutes late due to accumulated loading delays and a stalled hybrid vehicle on the gallery deck that required a tow truck.
The crew attempted to make up time but unfortunately we were unable to get back on schedule. Due to this combination of events, we decided to cancel a round trip sailing between Snug Cove and Horseshoe Bay.
We apologize to our customers for this cancellation and any inconvenience it caused. We would like to thank our customers for their patience during the heavy traffic associated with the paving project.
