A reprise of the Summer Series 600 'A Ferry Sails Through'.  The route has not been rechecked, so keep alert for changed conditions.  

Pre-ride notes from 4703 copied below.   Goto Event 4703 for further details.

CAUTION:  BC Ferries requires masks to be warn in all terminals and on all ships, except when in private vehicles or when eating (when socially distanced).

Start at the Brentwood Ferry Terminal, finish at the Mill Bay Ferry Terminal.  Choose your start time wisely to ensure you catch the last ferry back (6:30 pm).  Campbell River has hotels on the way out of town at approx 350km, or  Courtenay at 395 km.  Option to start up-Island but again pick start time to make ferry but would have ferry wait time as rest time.

24 hr services are very limited, especially with COVID closures.
