A series of time lapse videos that show the behind the scene action at roller derby bouts and scrimmages – this one from a bout 04 April 2017, between the Harbour City Rollers (black) and the Candy Crushers (red). Two great Nanaimo teams that fought it out to a tied game that required an overtime jam!

The Queen of Burnaby is one of the few remaining ships that have car deck doors that swing inward – the doors were much despised during the early years as they they had a very annoying habit of refusing to open when a ferry arrived at the terminal.


I’ll be sad when the Queens and their doors are gone and the last man has out turned off the lights and locked the doors one last time…

Curve of Time in Powell River

Originally named Moby Dick, this ship was built in Holland by D. En Joh Boot N.V. in 1959.
She fished commercially as a side trawler until 1984 at which time she was purchased by the Greenpeace organization, campaigned in Europe, crossed the Atlantic three times and finally arrived on the west coast of BC via the Panama Canal where she continued her history with Greenpeace. In the fall of 1997 Moby Dick was purchased by Due West Charters and renamed the Curve of Time.
