MV Elwha undergoing maintenance at Eagle Harbor, last Sunday (3-23-14). I'm sure that Barnacle misses her a lot! Sure, we'll go with that.

From Saturday - my photos of the Elwha. I hope she is quieter than her sister, Hyak.

A walk-through tour of the Elwha I shot on a trip a few days ago. I listened to the advice you gave me 8 months ago on this tour and actually put some effort into stabilization. Enjoy.

Looks like there's a forest fire near Anacortes. ...oh wait, it's just Elwha leaving.

Some views of Elwha, all on same day: July 15, 2014. Morning view, as we near Friday Harbor (on a Tuesday) Elwha leaving Friday Harbor area -------------- ...later that day: arriving at Lopez Island Is the angled docking a special procedure (spring-line?) because of the work being done on the Lopez berth? (she did straighten-out. But the arrival was at this 45-degree angle)

Unless she's in for maintenance, she's in the San Juans. She probably hasn't operated on another route in over 20 years.

(she did straighten-out. But the arrival was at this 45-degree angle) Nah. It's because the current was ebbing across the approach to the dock (left-to-right in this picture) and once the bow is behind Upright Head (off-camera to the left), it is no longer affected by the current. The stern still is and thus it heads off to the east, with very little that the landing officer can do about it other than to try to grunt it back into position once the boat's pressing against the wingwalls.

Elwha trip from Anacortes to Friday Harbor, on a foggy July 15, 2014 morning.
It was a fun trip in the fog (not so much fun for the bridge officers or the bow lookout)

Elwha gets good coverage in this video of an evening of ferry watching from Anacortes. - this is 3.5 hours of my fun, sped-up for this video.
Evening of July 14, 2014. A good time.

One of my favourite moments in this video is at the 8:15 mark, where Hyak is in the near berth, and Elwha is in the far berth. Elwha departs, and the double-faces of the 2 ships creates a nice double-super effect.

A friend of mine and his family is on the Elwha, and posted a picture of everyone in life jackets (as a precaution I would imagine).

It was a fire in an engine room. The result is one drive motor out of order for the trip (and for how long now afterwards?) Life jacket precaution would be for the possibility of evacuating because of fire. ===================== Here's a story: from HERE=============== And some photos at this site PHOTOS HERE

Great. Just great. We thought the crisis was over, and now this. Hopefully they can get the Elwha back online soon. If not, we are in for a real treat over the coming days.

And of course today's 6:25am first round trip for Elwha is cancelled.
Will there be more? Time will tell, today.

Let's hope they can repair it today, even if it's a temporary fix to get Elwha through the rest of the summer. If Elwha has to be out for an extended period of time, we'll probably see Chelan step in for her, and the Sidney run cancelled again, because there are no other available vessels, outside of Hiyu, which is not a viable option this time of year.

Let's hope it isn't a more systemic issue with the drive motor. Two supers out because of drive motors...awesome.
