Photo of the Week: Changing the mast light on the Spirit of Vancouver Island

This picture was taken by FSU Electrician Brian McNeil during the annual changing of the aft mast light on the Spirit of Vancouver Island.  Pictured from left to right is Josh Yeung, Grant Stevens, Mark Armstrong, Matt Mansley and Devon Hall.

Deckhand Mark will retire in April after 38 years of dedication to BC Ferries, and has been an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience in countless ship refits in this time. His generosity and patience in sharing his expertise with the up-and-coming deckhands is beyond appreciated. All the best to Mark on his well deserved retirement. We’ll be keeping him on speed dial, knowing that when any department on the ships have questions, he’ll have the answers.
