VANCOUVER — If they’re lucky, northern B.C. ferry passengers may celebrate the New Year riding on a ferry.
A series of wind storms since Thursday has cancelled or delayed B.C. Ferries service on the northern routes.
The Queen of Prince Rupert did manage to leave Port Hardy this morning with several planned stops, and is estimated to arrive in Prince Rupert at about 2:30 a.m. New Year’s Day.
However the weather isn’t cooperating.
Wind warnings are in effect for the Queen Charlottes, the North and Central Coast and Northern Vancouver Island.
Wind gusts of up 90 kilometres per hour are expected New Year’s Eve before the winds ease early New Year’s Day.
