Generally use of words such as 'moron' need to be discouraged on this forum. In this case, however, the use is justified. When directed at people who use laser toys to blind navigators on airplanes or seagoing vessels carrying hundreds of people, 'moron' is a milder term than I would use. Criminal - that's my choice of word for this...

Does anyone know the color spec for the WSF Green color? A cross reference to a known color or an industry number would do. Thanks, JIM

Thanks, JIM Check out this PDF file of a typical painting order included with most preservation contracts: www.wsdot.wa.gov/Ferries/Business/Contracts/search/download/6942Someone else on this Forum may know what brand and code of paint is actually used.

This design existed as far back as at least 2007 (probably even earlier than that).

But anyone who outlined them on the YouTube videos got their comments deleted.

I have been to all the ferry terminals in 24hrs. Does anybody have any other suggestions for day trips like this?

I couldn't help but laugh at the 20-30 minute delay on FVS vessels when they claimed the Tillikum was the Tillikum State

Any idea of the time this was taken? We left Mukilteo on the Kennewick that morning at 1130.

Posted on WSFs twitter feed: This doesn't seem to be accurate now as the Tillikum has still not swapped with the Klahowya for the SJI Interisland position.

In the last schedule posted online, it appeared as if it would be the Tillikum which would be decrewed. Perhaps they reverted back to the prior plan?
(In terms of passenger comfort, I see issues with pulling the Klahowya before the Tillikum. The Klahowya is much nicer and barely older, although I admit to not having any knowledge as to potential differences in mechanical/structural condition. Both boats look immaculate compared to the Hyak and Elwha...)

I definitely think that the Tillikum should be retired prior to the Klahowya because when she [the Tillikum] is at Vashon, WSF always posts updates about delays relating to the Tillikum's "slower speed".

Unfortunately, the same held true for the Klahowya when it was on F-V-S for a bit last winter.

The Klahowya is currently running an interisland schedule that was written for an 11-knot Steel-Electric.

Not clear on this after a quick look at the WSF site... can one drive up to a WSF ticket booth and use debit cards? Can't here in BC, for the most part.

Yes but... Its been a while, but I believe many Canadian banks issue debit cards w/o Mastercard or Visa logos. These process only through the debit network, and require a PIN. The vast majority of US banks issue debit cards w/ the Mastercard or Visa logo, and they can be run as a credit transaction when a PIN pad is not available. Frequently merchants will say they take debit/credit, when in fact they only take credit cards ... or debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo. I suspect that if Neil has a debit card w/o logo, he will be unable to use it at the ticket booth.
