tor eating kaolin, the smooth

Small snack bags of kaolin

human consumption”) are sold
at convenience stores in central
Georgia, where half the world’s
kaolin is produced, 2nd even at
farmer’s markets in Adanta.

BC Ferries’ new PacifiCat Explorer represents a giant

leap forward in ferry design and technology. But this

ferry has more going for it than just good looks. Its profile
has a purpose. With a service speed of up to 37 knots
(about 70 kilometers per hour), the PacifiCat makes the
crossing between Horseshce Bay and Departure Bay
quicker than ever.

While PacifiCat Explorer's sleek profile is built for speed,
its ultra-modern interior is built for comfort. On-board .
amenities include exciting new restaurants and video
screens throughout the passenger areas featuring great en
route entertainment.

Because of special regulations for high-speed craft, there
are some changes in the way people board the vessel, access
the vehicle decks, mavel with pets and stow oversize bags.
The result will be better safety for our passengers.

PacifiCat Explorer. So comfortable, you'll wani to spend
more time on board. So fast, you won't have to..
