Jay and Richard, we'll be starting out some time in June, so you'll be ahead of us. I would really appreciate updates as you (and others) prepare and embark. I'll continue to monitor Canada's sites for updated information.

Les, we had hoped to go immediately after the Friday Harbor Gathering in May, but that hope is greatly diminished at present. Concerns with JoLee’s health problems, while that far out on a limb, has us thinking a wiser choice for us is to chose another year for the BC section of the Inland Passage. I do think with Richard’s shared knowledge of the how to make it happen for you, viable, though not nearly as pleasant a cruise or easy to plan out as a more normal year would be. Once in SE Alaska it should be just the opposite with a fantastic year to cruise there.

Jay

It appears the Canadian Covid testing requirement is loosening up a bit.

I'm not sure I truly understand what this language says.

Can I go to a Canadian entry port and get approved just once, and then be accepted at any other BC port without further testing as long as I don't leave BC?

It says the test must be done at a lab. Can one scan the certificate and email it to some BC gov't authority so it is on file when you actually enter within 72 hours; or must you carry the antigen test results with the boat when you go to the port of entry?

Don't know for sure. I have not yet been able to find updated info for private boaters. In the past it has always come out later than the info for land and air travelers.

If it is like last fall, if you're vaccinated and have proof of an accepted negative test, once you check in you're OK to travel normally as before COVID.

In Ketchikan last August, I was tested by a public health lab, in a trailer they had set up at the ferry terminal, before I headed south to Prince Rupert. Had to use the ArriveCAN app to provide the info CBSA wanted, including proof of vaccination and negative test. After that no restrictions.

Plans to drop Covid test before border crossing. Sweet!
