riding the ferry for days

People camp out on the ferry. Sounds like rugged (but cozy) fun.

Adar is back.
Cool!
That sounds like so much fun. I love ferries… some tamer but also fun ones:
—Catalina Island ferry (from L.A)
—San Francisco bay ferries
Thanks for telling us about this one!
If you are fond of ferries
keep these more obscure ones on your list:
-the ferry which crosses the Ohio River from Kentucky to Hardin County to Route 1, near Cave-in-Rock and Golconda, Illinois. There are river pirate stories to listen to, stories of caves and pioneers.
-the ferry that goes over the Green River near Mammoth Cave in Kentucky.
-the ferries that ply back and forth from New Orleans to Algiers, on the Mississippi.
-one of my dreams now is to take a ferry from Ireland to Wales, or another ferry from Ireland to the Basque Countries.

I did it and camped outside. Can be gloomy but amazing too. See my pre-digital camera photos at :

I plan to do it again sometime in my life but trust me, it’s not glamourous! And I would sleep on the deck again but would have a warmer, all-weather sleeping bag.
There are several ferries
I’ve taken the one from near Vancouver-Horseshoe Bay- to Nanaimo, and after hitchhiking to the north end of Victoria Island, I took a ferry from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert.
The experience is well worth the cost of the ticket.
The Canadian ferries belong to a different company.
