Subject: Re: [world-cruising] Assistance request ? Seattle WA / Vancouver BC
From: Stan (rostan@XXX.XXX)
Date: Tue Mar 25 2003 - 20:31:12 EST
When I picked up AquaVenture in Vancouver, I flew into Seattle and then
took greyhound into Vancouver. It was the cheapest mode of transport.
Nice scenery/ride. I don't know where Ballantyne pier is. Dockwise
dropped boat in the middle of (can't remember name do to old age?) Bay.
Taxi ride from bus station to Bay was $20US.
