That was the announcement on the ferry loudspeaker system. There had been a series of loud blasts of the deeeep horn and we'd come to a stop. Then I looked up to see the cause of the noise and the crew's derision.
The sailboat was no longer in danger of being run over by the ferry. Is public shaming over the ferry loudspeakers a suitable activity for a public entity like the Bainbridge Ferry? I suspect not, but I suspect it made the announcer feel a little better. Will it make the little boat's driver change? I suspect forcing the ferry to stop was embarrassing enough.
But we enjoyed the warm sunny crossing into Seattle last Sunday after a family visit on a long layover on the way to LA. Here's a shot of us approaching the dock in Seattle.
