Lengthy waits and ferry delays are to be expected on the May long weekend.
But BC Ferries had a pretty good excuse when one of its vessels stopped Saturday morning near its terminal in Nanaimo, B.C.
The Queen of Oak Bay paused outside of Departure Bay to let a black bear swim past, the ferry operator said on Twitter.
A photo shared online showed a police vessel nearby.
BC Ferries seemed keen to, ahem, bear the extremely B.C. news.
Shortly after it tweeted the update, the bear puns ensued.
We can only paws-tulate that the humour is bear-ied in there somewhere.
BC Ferries has 15 extra sailings on the Horseshoe Bay-Departure Bay route over the long weekend.
