As the Sunshine Coast bids adieu to summer tourists, so it does to the second boat on the Horseshoe Bay-Langdale route.
With the Queen of Coquitlam's departure from Route 3 following the Labour Day long weekend, the Coast's new fall schedule is in effect. This schedule includes the commuter "L-run" at 5:30 p.m. from Horseshoe Bay (except for on weekends and on Oct. 14).
It was a year ago that the Sunshine Coast experienced dozens of sailing cancellations in September and October because of the Coastal Renaissance being unexpectedly out of commission due to engine problems.
Fingers are crossed for smoother sailing this fall.
