Backing In

            
September 2022 we took a ferry from Port Hardy on Vancouver Island to Bella Coola on British Columbia's Central Coast.
The ferry, Northern Sea Wolf is a roll on roll off (RORO) ferry that connects Port Hardy with Bella Coola in the summer months. Interestingly the ferry loads and unloads from the rear, the first few vehicles can turn around inside before backing into their designated  parking spot. Long vehicles and the ones pulling trailers have to back in along with the the last reaming cars as seen in the photograph. Unlike other BC ferries motorcycles are the last to load as they're first ones off. The ship travels through the Inside Passage before turning into the Burke Channel and eventually Bella Coola at the end of the North Bentinck Arm. The voyage takes about ten hours during daylight so passengers can enjoy the scenery which is spectacular. Along the route there are lighthouses, navigation markers, fish and pleasure boats, numerous islands,  whales and other wildlife. The abandoned community of Namu can be seen in as the ferry travels past it.
