A few BC Ferries sailings were cancelled due to adverse weather conditions on Monday morning.
High winds resulted in choppy seas, making the trip too risky to attempt.
The 6:15 a.m. Powell River Queen trip from Quadra Island to Campbell River was called off, as was the 6:40 a.m. sailing in the opposite direction.
Following that, BC Ferries also cancelled the ship’s 7:05 a.m, and 9:00 a.m. sailings from Quadra, as well as the 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. from Campbell River.
The MC Tachek sailings scheduled to depart from Cortes Island at 7:50 a.m. was cancelled too, as was a 9:05 return trip from Quadra Island.
