You-Upchucks

The UchuckII did the Ucluelet runs, and I was around four years old when the UchuckIII joined the fleet. We referred to the II and III interchangeably as the “You-​upchucks.” Most of my trips were aboard the UchuckIII. Although by all accounts she was more seaworthy than the earlier Uchucks, I was still prone to seasickness as a young child. My brothers enjoyed snacks down below. I preferred sitting topside on the rolling deck, where the fresh sea air quelled my seasickness.
