I figured there might be some interest in this trip. I took the ferry to Bella Coola, the a very long drive back to Lillooet along the FSR back roads. In total my odometer read 1800 kms from Pt Hardy to Vancouver. I had reset it I Pt Hardy. I've not worked out the total fuel consumed yet, I'll add that in a bit.
The ferry trip was a two stage affair, Pt Hardy to Bella Bella, then change boats and on to Bella Coola. This change of boats is from midnight to 2 am. The fancy 2009 built ferry I boarded in Pt Hardy is a modern marvel, it's a 5.5 hr trip. The ferry for the remaining 10 hrs to Bella Coola is a single open deck built in the 60's?? I didn't get pictures of it, I just wanted to get off it. This pic is sitting in line waiting for the big ferry to leave, then out of the darkness the other ship docked. We just crawled into our bags in the back of the cruiser and crashed.
