Might I suggest amphibious car/truck should be your next project
The real question is will you be able to come back...
We need a "Resident" pass that identifies those of us who live on the island and puts us at the front of the line. The ferries are our highway, nobody else in province needs to make a reservation to travel anywhere. Could you imagine the whining if Vancouverites had to reserve and pay for a spot on the road to Whistler or Chilliwack, OMG the mayhem that would cause.
End of rant (for now) and yes I'm whining.

He should be okay, it's not a long weekend.

I sympathize with your feelings, but not so sure you would really like the results. The Ferry to Manitoulin Island in Ontario tried such a scheme. It backfired. As I recall, it turned out that only 1 in 10 passengers was a permanent resident of the island. The rest are either seasonal or temporary tourists. Given that the island is very heavily dependant on tourists, the backlash was unbearable.
It also turned out that the ferry was heavily subsidized by Ontario Tax Payers. When the subsidy and the tourism dollars were taken out of the equation, the ferry was unsustainable. Nobody wins that game.
Today, anyone can make a reservation on a first come first served basis up to a large percent of the capacity, and the rest of the boat is filled from the line-up. Regular users can buy a seasonal pass for a reduced rate but not priority loading.
Walk-on is a very popular passage. Some folks even have a car of their own at both ends. Bicycles and motorcycles are also given front of the line priority.
I believe the same rules apply to the Pelee Island Ferry also in Ontario.
As always, be careful what you ask for lest you get it!

Well my ferry luck ran out.
At the terminal at 12:40.
Getting on the 5 pm sailing.
This is only the second time I’ve had to wait for a ferry.
The last time was in 2003 after having driven from Edmonton we missed our reservation window by 15 minutes so had to take the next sailing.

Went looking for you....
I'm guessing you have both class 5 and class 6 license too?
Yes, I’ve had my class 6 since about 1988 I think
