Here’s the terminal manager of the CTMA ferry that runs between PEI and the Magdelan Islands commenting on a recent crossing that took 16 hours (instead of the usual 5), as reported by CBC:

“The passengers are quite comfortable,” he says. “They’ve got plenty to eat and they’re warm. It’s a closed-in ferry so everything is very comfortable for them. It’s just that it takes so much longer to get from point A to point B, and it’s kind of boring because you can only go so far on a boat.”
