BC Ferries is putting on 3 more late night sailings for Island football fans after games for the 2008 season.

Late Sailing Schedule

The next is scheduled for the Wheatie game this Saturday, returning at 11:30 PM.
The other 2 are as follows:

September 27th vs Hamilton
October 10th vs Edmonton (this one is usually epic-don't miss it!)


The BC Ferries Lions Sailing Tailgaters will take place at the Duke Point terminal (Nanaimo) on September 13th and 27th . On those 2 dates, look to the front of Lane 25 for the BC Ferries Lions Sailing Tailgater. On October 10th it will be held at the head of Lane 1 at Swartz Bay terminal in Victoria. Look for the Lions' and BC Ferries Flags, and bring some grub, and possibly a folding chair or two.

The late night sailings have been successful to date, and with the support of fans getting the word out there about BC Ferries' late sailings, they hope to continue serving communities and fans with these sailings. It's important that we on the Island get the word out about these Sailings, and for those of you on the mainland, tell your relatives on the Island that they no longer have an excuse, at least for these four dates.

This season, we have Shonna Lavery at BC Ferries to thank for these extra sailings, so let's make sure we support the Lions, and their Corporate Partner, BC Ferries. For Canuck Fans, these could be extended into hockey season should they prove even more successful than last year, so if you're a rabid Canuck fan, grab your Canucks jersey, and head to BC Place with us. We're expecting great turnouts this season, so we can continue to have late sailings in 2009! :yes:

Take a bow Shonna and BC Ferries, and thanks for what you've done for us.

Woohoo, I might have to hit the latter two games :-)

Heading to the game this Sat since we'll be in Van anyway, I'm going to duck out of our visit for a few hours for a much-needed football break!
