Kennewick and Salish have a tough time "threading the needle" through the maze of "I'm not moving" types of boaters, in Admiralty Inlet. Add fog to the mix, and being a ferry skipper is a very tough job. Here's Kennewick on July 16, 2014: ----------------  "Playing Chicken" with the ferry  With some nice mountains  With Fort Worden in background  ------ When there are forts on 3 sides of this waterway, you know you're safe (or were safe 150 years ago) |

For some reason there was one horn back from April that I didn't post here. Well, today, here it is, the Kennewick blowing a long blast followed by two short ones, arriving at Port Townsend.

Some pictures from a trip I did on the Kennewick back on July 30th. Here's the Kennewick coming into Keystone as the fog burns out in the background. I also like how the wake really shows the turn that must be made upon entering the harbor:  MV Kennewick en-route to Keystone - Washington State Ferries by SolDuc Photography, on Flickr  MV Kennewick en-route to Keystone - Washington State Ferries by SolDuc Photography, on Flickr Coming into the very narrow harbor...

I biked on so I was first on the boat.

The Kenny is headed north right now and should be passing Edmonds by about 11:30.

So on my recent holiday in the American west, night 1 was spent in Port Townsend, WA. That permitted me to go for an early (no, not FH sort of early) morning walk along the waterfront from our hotel; a chance to get some photos of a WSF doing its thing... I was hoping that I might see the Salish just because I have not yet seen her. What I did get was the Kennewick, which I have seen, and ridden on, before. This time, though, I managed to get some decent photos from the PT end of the run, and that is good.

It looks like you were close to the tiny motel that I stayed at last summer. |

The Kitsap Sun said the Kennewick with be doing safety drills and will be working with emergency personnel and will stay in Port Townsend.
EDIT: (from the WSF website) Multi-agency emergency training at Port Townsend terminal
Local, state and federal agencies will conduct a day-long training exercise at the terminal Saturday, May 2, while the Port Townsend ferry terminal is closed. Onlookers may see helicopters, fire trucks, ambulances and EMS personnel at the dock and on the ferry Kennewick. Visit East Jefferson Fire and Rescue to learn more.
It will most likely be the Salish because she is on Standby in Eagle Harbor and it said a 64 car vessel.

Cool, a rarity to see any 64 on that run for sure! I wonder if it would be viable to do 3 or 4 direct trips a day in such as situation from Port Townsend to Anacortes or Clinton with one or both KdTs. That would be somewhat similar to the "freight runs" the Sealth did when the bridge was closed. :-) Travel time each way from PT to Anacortes @ or Clinton at 12kts is nearly 3 hours though but that would be a nice cruise for sure.

Sort of surprised they're not using the Evergreen State, if they're going to pull a standby vessel out of Eagle Harbor... |

As stated from the WSF website the safety drills will take place on Saturday at Port Townsend. The three boat service on Edmonds/Kingston is Sunday only which leads me to believe the Kennewick will move down from Port Townsend to Kingston sometime Saturday evening. I am hoping to catch a ride on her Sunday on her rare assignment. |

The Kitsap Sun article states Kennewick will conduct the safety drills only on Saturday. The WSF Page says the Ed/King 3-boat service is only on Sunday. |

Great photos of the Kennewick! From this angle you can tell why vessels there don't dock in low tide. |

I was on the Kennewick today and I noticed how small Keystone Harbor is. I have photos but they're too big :-(

Why would they use it for emergency training on that run? Please re-read the conversation. Discussion was - with Kennewick used for drills, Samish would come out of Eagle Harbor to be the third boat on Edmonds Kingston. I was asking, why they were not using Evergreen State as the third boat on Edmonds Kingston. Turned out, 3 boat service was Sunday only, and they used the Kennewick. |

Thanks for telling me. I understand now. Anyway, Kennewick is doing pretty good at Port Towensend-Coupeville (low waits).
