Does anyone know how long the Sealth is going to be in the San Juans? If she is still there next week, I might be able to do a trip on her. Depends on how long the Yakima is out of service. I suspect once the Yakima is back in service the Sealth will return to Vashon. |

Here's the original interior of the Sealth (I took them in 2005 or so) side by side with her current interior...A much needed improvement!   |

The Sealth and the Elwha passing near Lopez Island on 20 June 2013. Taken from the Hyak -- the Yakima was in front of us but I couldn't get a good picture of it.....  While I miss the Evergreen State not being there right now, the Sealth is kind of growing on me as being the inter island boat. As if being on it twice recently qualifies me to say that....  |

Apparently the Sealth is going to be back on the Seattle-Bremerton route next week. It's replacing the Kitsap.

I know that it would also have an impact there but its way less important when the next boat comes in less than half an hour rather than one (or more) hour! |

Hopefully, I will be able to go Seattle next week to catch her on the route. |

WSF is putting the Sealth on the Seattle to Bremerton route along with Kaleetan from November 4th to November 11th. Sealth will replace the Kitsap will she operates on Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth to replace the Issaquah. Does the Sealth not leave that many cars behind when she operates on this route with a Super?

Yaaaaaaaaaaay--Not! Why did WSF schedule maintenance for the Chelan at the same time as the Issaquah? What were they thinking? If they had scheduled those vessels' maintenance times for different periods, then the Chelan could've replaced the Kitsap on the S/Brem route. Why do they always have to throw Bremerton under the bus? EDIT: Well the bright side of this is that the Sealth will be serving her namesake city, Seattle. |

If it were up to me, I'd send Sealth to Vashon and keep the Kitsap at Bremerton. A couple of months ago, the maintenance schedule showed the Issaquah being replaced by the Sealth instead of the Kitsap. Why that got changed I don't know. |

Why would they tow the Kitsap to Vashon Island when the other boats run under their own power? |

Here is the Sealth at Winslow yesterday. The Coast Guard was doing a modified annual inspection on the Tacoma to extend her COI for another month and the Sealth did several round trips while the Tacoma was tied-up.   |

Is that a 12th Man omen for the Seahawks on the funnel of the Tacoma? If so, awesome. |

It was most awesome to watch the Seahawks blow out The Saints Monday night. I think a lot of people, including myself, thought it would be a really close game - guess we were wrong! Seattle is now 11-1, the best team in all of the NFL right now. Go Hawks! |

The Spokane is also in the 12th man spirit, they fly the flag under the American flag and in the galley the Seahawks game was on, over the speakers of course. |
