I met up with a fellow cyclist prior to boarding for Horeshoe Bay. Terry was from Gabriola Island. We parked the bikes then headed upstairs and chatted over a coffee and muffin. Terry crossed Canada with two other riders along with a support Van in 2009. It was interesting talking to him and hearing all about his journey. It wasn't long before they announced the call to disembark. It felt damp and much cooler when the ferry doors opened, the coastal mountains were obscured in fog. I made my way through the rather confusing exit up onto Highway 99.  For the most part the shoulder was wide allowing a reasonable buffer between me and the continuous flow of traffic. A couple of sections where the shoulder was minimal with a sloped curb, I opted to push for safety.
