@wheeler244 @wsferries We were the last ones on the boat last time we headed to Anacortes from Friday Harbor (we had been reserved for over a month but the first ferry had been cancelled so Friday Harbor was a Cluster 😳🤷♂️) https://t.co/qzxaKuUqvV

Early morning destinations often mean we have to come up with something on the boat. I finally got my hands on the miniature ferry food tray ⛴️. It was a little bumpy on the way out, but we caught the 5:35 sailing out of Friday Harbor on the port side, heading to Anacortes #pnw https://t.co/XatEyhPyDg

@RepLuna @RidePSTA Wow, the old Victoria Clipper (that went through Friday Harbor, WA). I rode that boat when I was a kid 😄 So that boat goes to Tampa, and the new Washington state ferry boats are being built in Florida to be shipped back to Washington...? 🤷🏼♂️

@TiffanyFong Nice!! I'm guessing Kenmore -> Friday Harbor? Did they get a chance to fly by BillG's house shortly after take off? Super jelly :) Next time, I might recommend taking the long drive there via Deception Pass, then taking Anacortes Ferry through the San Juans to Friday Harbor!

Sailing the Salish Sea 40yrs ago we would never see humpbacks; now we have encounters almost every day - a remarkable recovery story. But the Southern Resident Orcas aren't doing so well (choosy over their diet- exclusively Chinook salmon, whose stocks are diminishing). https://t.co/SPVjk3E0Vy

@melissaquilts Lol, This boat was delivering a big load or multiple pallets of grout to one of my islands. When fishing locally (Puget Sound) I think they target sockeye and chum salmon. Not sure what they target in Alaska.
