This is the reason I've never taken my glider across to Vancouver Island via BC Ferries to fly at Port Alberni. I've been tempted but I had visions of hundreds of angry fellow passenger glaring at me while the departure was delayed by my trailer getting hung up on the ramp!

I've recently been going through 60's and 70's issues of Soaring. Some of the stories back then of people seeing their brand new ship being hauled out of the hold, the whole thing swinging around on the end of a cable far above the deck make for great reading.
