REEL 51 COMMENTARY
1. Same as previous reel.
6'20" drop-out on one channel, wind noise.
7'30" large truck roars by, frogs take no notice!
9'30" recordist changes position.
2-6. Compared to reels 39/40 the activity here is very different, it was evening, less people on board, many of whom seemed somewhat drunk, and perhaps the recordists, on this last leg of the tour, were not so energetic. A notable difference is that this boat tends to rattle more than the Queen of Tsawwassen.

2'10" directions from attendant, note the 3 hums right after that appear and disappear as car drives down inside the ferry.

3. Starts with loud hum.
0'55" entering lounge.
5. About twelve people sitting here, conversation.
