I'm anxious to see the format for the WAIT token. This will solve all sorts
of route problems for me, especially for the last of the Puget Sound ferries
"to do". Starting April 1 there will be four ships servicing the same
terminals in the San Juan Islands with the mainland, with at least one
including Sidney, British Columbia.

I don't use cvs and have one BIG problem - I can't find the navigation route
in FlightGear to your new files for AIShips. Please specify for this
knothead :)
Also, I would like to share my ferry routes with anyone interested, but
without a website I don't know the best way to do this.
Thank you Vivian for your efforts on this problem with non-aviation aspects
of the sim.
Cheers, Neil Smith
