A BC Ferries sailing was delayed yesterday after a passenger went overboard.
The Canadian Coast Guard says another person saw the passenger fall from the Queen of Cowichan and alerted ferry crews, who called for search and rescue support.
It says the person was located in the waters off Bowen Island and transported by hovercraft to Vancouver's Spanish Banks, where an ambulance was waiting.
The person's condition is unknown.
