Build the Bridge, Get My Vote
Honestly, I’ve finally figured out what my election platform is going to be.
I’m voting for whoever promises to build a bridge between Vancouver Island and the mainland.
I don’t care what party they’re from. I don’t care what their other policies are. Show me a bridge and you have my vote. 😂
Because at this point, I simply cannot waste any more of my life sitting in a ferry lineup, watching the sailing disappear, paying a fortune, and wondering whether I’ll actually make it home today.
Forget the debates. Forget the campaign promises.
BUILD. THE. BRIDGE.
My political priorities have officially been reduced to getting off this damn island without having to negotiate with BC Ferries. 🚗🌊

Building an app that tells you your ferry is late before you're in the lineup
Working on an app called FerryFetch, basically a flight tracker for ferries. The idea is simple: your ferry info in one place, no tab hopping, no guessing.
You open it and see where your boat is, whether it's on time or late and by how much, and how much deck space is left on your sailing and the next one. If anything affects your sailing, a delay, a cancellation, rough weather, you get a notification the moment it happens. No refreshing anything.
Starting with BC Ferries and Hullo, more operators and regions after that. One app that works the same everywhere, instead of a different one for every operator.
The app is in active development, the prototype works, getting close to release.
Waitlist while I finish: https://ferryfetch.com
Not affiliated with BC Ferries or any operator.
So, what's the ferry info you wish you had sooner? And any feature ideas, things you'd want it to do that nothing currently does.
