BC Ferries' website announces that "On Sunday, March 29, 2009, the crew of the MV Quinsam will be conducting extensive safety drills, including the deployment of the vessel’s newly installed evacuation system. This will result in two cancelled sailings: The 1:20 p.m. departure from Descanso Bay and the 1:55 p.m. departure from Nanaimo Harbour. Service will resume with the 3:10 p.m. sailing from Descanso Bay".
You'd have thought they would have been drilled in using the evacuation system before Quinsam went back into service - not six weeks later!
BC Ferries has now rescinded the cancellations, saying that the safety drill has been postponed to a later date. So that's ok then...... it's business as usual!
