Rough for ferries is nothing for freighters. The ferries are never meant to leave the protected coastal waters but freighters are meant to cross the open ocean. It's no Puget Sound, but the Strait of Georgia is a pretty well protected body of water. I doubt they notice the worst weather the Strait can put forward.
