During the spring and summer months there are over 100 sailings of large cruise ships
in each direction through Discovery Passage, the body of water between Vancouver Island
and the mainland. However none of the big ships are sailing this year because of Covid 19.
So far I have seen only three small cruise ships pass, including this little guy.

The British Columbia government is allowing cruise ships to pass through our waters,
but they are prohibited from docking except to get fuel.

Personally I don't miss the big cruise ships at all. They are impressive when they pass by,
but they have a huge carbon footprint. Also, many marine biologists are concerned about
their impact on whales and other inhabitants of these waters.

Best viewed at original size.
