Chack Stedda! It's Victoria Day......

Who would think that old Saint Nick turned up at the Backstage on GI, wearing a poncho! Yes, the old guys on vacation and decided to see what all the fuss is right now in Vancouver Town?

Only another tidal wave sweeping through that's painting this city in a blue and green tidal wave called the Stanley Cup Finals! The excitement is so reminiscent of that other big party last year. 

So, after the Canucks demolition of San Jose in game 4, that gets us to just one game and the Promised Land, I headed down to the backstage to see my Aquabus chums.....

The ‘bros turned up: Jake the 'Chack Stedda' and Boy Blunder Brandon.....both in fine form shouting ‘Father Christmas!’ and ‘What’s with the Cargo Pants Bro?’ – it was like I hadn’t seen them since...Nineteen Eighty Four! 

Neo + Rebecca......baby's got blue eyes!

The ever lovely Astrid bounced in totally ignoring her brother and Aquabus Driver Max......

But, it's starting to feel like summer is just around the corner because it’s new hires season! 

Hello Neo, Claire and Rebecca!. 

Typical, it’s all a blur and I can’t keep up with them all.

Lovely to see that old pirate Captain Heidi back from Les bleu to settle these newbie’s down on the creek in the next few weeks. 

She already has hit her thespian stride and is starring in another production Aquabus bound across the creek for the Children’s Festival!!

Father Christmas meets his elfs: Siobhan + Jordan....

It was also great to meet Ian from that other boat company on the creek. Especially as he told me that he runs the False Creek Ferries photo group on the Flickr website! 

This group was the inspiration for yours truly to start a photo group for our fav ferry boat company. Ian was a real gentleman and gave some helpful tips before he took for a 3 month internship in LA. Good luck Ian!

Happy 17th Big Kev!

And how Big Kev smiled when he was presented with his very own friendship bracelet for his big 17^th birthday by another new hire: Sammy! Happy Birthday big boy!

And as we danced the night away, suffice to say, it’s looking like it's going to be another great summer season on the water for Aquabus!

In the meantime........

Peaaaaccccceeeeeee out sisters!

Post # 60 - Aquabus sails to Flickr!

Little did I know what I was getting into when I became a member of Flickr.

Flickr is a website where you upload, organize and share your pictures online. It has community groups based on common themes. 

It has become quite the community, as I discovered when I went to members launch party last year during the Olympics.......

I noticed that there was a group for that other ferry company on the creek with over 1500 pictures! But there wasn't a Aquabus Ferry group...until now!  

So, I decided to jump in and became the 'Admin Commander' of the official Aquabus Ferries group on Flickr! 

And in just 3 weeks we already have 10 'Passengers' As of May 14th, 2011 we have 168 pictures of those famed little boats...... 

Here are just a few great pictures in this group:
