Do I need to reserve Coho Ferry in mid-march?
I'll be travelling in mid-march on the Coho Ferry with a small car on a Tuesday.
I need the 10am ferry. the only other ferry is 4pm. Do I need a reservation at this time of year, or can I get away with saving the $10 and just buy the ticket the day of? Or can I buy the tickets in advance in person (I'll be arriving on Sunday)?
I do need the 10am sailing or my travel plans will be off, but it seems like it's off-season AND an off-day.
thoughts?

Is that US bound or BC Bound? If US Bound I'd just park early and enjoy the harbor at Victoria - be forewarned customs is ssslllooowwwww.. allow some extra time. 3rd week of March is spring break however.

It's U.S. bound, March 18 ... I guess that will be spring break - you think there will be a lot of traffic?
I'm assuming customs will be when we land in Port Angeles. Any tips for getting first in line?

Sounds like I need to reserve it.
Which makes me think, the Sunday before, I will be taking the 11am ferry with a car from tsawwassen to swartz bay. Sunday morning is not a peak travel day and March is not a peak travel season (except for spring break again).
I was going to save the $15 fee, since I am more flexible with my timing (they have ferries every hour after 11am) and b/c I have to get there early even with a reservation. Am I asking for trouble if I don't reserve the BC Ferry?
