Home/Rides and errands

Rides and errands · off-island

Somebody is already driving to Victoria. Say so, or ask.

Three kinds of post. A ride offered: where you are going, when, how many seats, whether there is room for parcels. A ride needed: the same, the other way round. An errand: something waiting in Duncan, Sidney or the hospital pharmacy that anyone with your note can collect. Fuel and ferry are settled between you.

7 crossings this fortnight · soonest first
Tuesday and Thursday sailings from Fulford are the ones that fill up. If you drive one regularly, a standing offer takes thirty seconds and saves somebody a week of asking.

Post a crossing

Where, when, and what there is room for

A ride post is shown to members who have said they want to hear about that destination, so a standing Thursday run to Victoria reaches the people waiting for it. Errands say who may collect the thing and where it is, and the receipt or note is sent in messages, never on the page.

  • Offer, need, or errand
  • Departure point and sailing, not an address
  • Seats and parcel space, or the size of the thing
  • Members who want that destination are told
  • Expires after the date passes
