I can say for with out a doubt that it's taking a heavy hit. no question needed. How close to capacity are they able to load Tokitae during busy periods and keep the schedule? Because it's the only boat to be able to take much currently it's being loaded to as many as can get squeezed on.

Nice to finally see Edmonds/Kingston on their "full" capacity for the first time in ages right now. Puyallup/Spokane taking over as Kitsap replaces Cathlamet for mx at F/V/S today.

It is unclear what vessel you are referring to.

Looks like they fixed Yakima so it's back in the islands in the #3 position, and Chelen is on its way to Mukilteo to relieve Sealth, which will go to the "Triangle Route" as a supplemental vessel. wsdot.com/ferries/schedule/bulletin.aspx

Is this the first time since Covid that we’ve had 3 boats back on the triangle?

Issaquah spent some time as the "ghost boat" last summer and Salish also logged some time in that position last month.

The internal docs from my archive indicate we at least *tried* to maintain three boats during "2021 Peak Season." I honestly don't recall how it went.

My recollection, which could be off, is that WSF managed to keep three boats there in what would've been the summer season in 2021 (July-August-September), albeit at a reduced service level. But that fell apart once they got into fall, and the route has been on 2-boat service ever since except for the short interludes of the "ghost boat."

They had 2 boats during June-October 2021. Vashon was 3 boats regularly during the same period until the Omicron outbreak in October.
