A dozen sailings scheduled between Bowen Island and the mainland have been cancelled for Saturday, May 20.
The 1:55 pm sailing from Horseshoe Bay will be the final BC Ferries run leaving the mainland, and the 2:40 pm from Bowen will be the last to leave the island today.
BC Ferries released a statement this morning warning of possible cancellations on the Horseshoe Bay (West Vancouver) to Snug Cove (Bowen Island) route, beginning with the 3:30 pm sailing from Horseshoe Bay. These were confirmed shortly after 1 pm this afternoon. Twelve sailings of the Queen of Capilano are cancelled in total, right through the final 10:50 pm boat from Bowen to the mainland.
