m. v. Queen of Oak Bay departs Horseshoe Bay (Sept. 6th 2010, 10:30 AM)

The Queen of Oak leaves for Departure Bay, Nanaimo on her 10:30 AM sailing in the rain, there is a slight gap in video just after the vessel starts moving as I had to wipe the water of the lens, guess I'll have to do a retake when the weather is better, it'd be nice if they blew the horn a bit longer next time too.
