Does anyone have any guess as to which ferry is going to replace the Samish while she is out form removal of flammable material in January? The Maintenance Schedule is only projecting as far out as the end of December right now, but both Chelan and Hyak are listed for standby status at the end of December, so it could be one of them. And, thanks for prompting me about the flammable material story on Tokitae and Samish. There's an article about that in the Islands Sounder this week: www.islandssounder.com/news/339915131.html

She has been working non-stop since June (as of November 5). She was supposed to be out mid-September but the Elwha broke and she was required to stay in service. I would like the Hyak back to the Islands, she seems very suited, but the Samish is nice too.

Given that the service levels are already cut back in winter, I'd be surprised if the Samish wasn't replaced by the Hyak. At least there would be capacity parity.

Hello All,
I traveled to Friday Harbor this weekend for the Film Festival (I recommend that if you like history and documentaries, that you go next year). We went up on the Samish at 6:00pm on Friday night and we didn't leave until about 6:25pm. As we arrived Lopez, I got a notification that the boat (Samish) was running late due to police activity in Anacortes. I was unaware of anything of the sorts. If anybody has heard anything about this, it would be nice to hear about it.

According to the reservation system, for at least the week of January 11, the Samish will be out of service and will be replaced by the Chelan. The service will be as followed for that week: #1 - Elwha #2 - Yakima #3 - Chelan #4 - Klahowya

I just show up and go to work on whatever boat I'm told.

Corrosion? Seriously?! I can understand there being defects with a new ship, like with equipment, and maybe some other electrical or mechanical things, but the hull? Really? This just seems shocking to me, and really, a pretty big deal. Or is it? Am I missing something here?

M.V. Samish in yesterday's windstorm. Bravo, Steven ! Thanks! It was quite an eventful trip for my wife and I yesterday. We went to Anacortes for my mother-in-law's 70th birthday. She was having a birthday breakfast there with family (she'd attented a wedding for my wife's cousin the day before), and we were invited to her breakfast. We left Shelton at 4AM and were in Anacortes by 9:30. We didn't get home until 9:45 last night due to the storm - mostly due to the closure of the Port Townsend/Coupville ferry run. We were in line for the 2:45PM crossing (having arrived at 2:15) and were told of the chance we might miss the 2:45PM crossing due to the boat being full. When it left the dock (we were not allowed on due to - yep - it being full) we were told by a dock worker that, as it was leaving the dock, we were stranded and that the run was shut down effective immediately. Completely understandable as winds were 60MPH sustained at the time the M.V. Salish left. Following the issuance of a refund, we then had to drive down to the Clinton dock, caught the 4:30 boat out, and then drove home through Everett and Seattle. We didn't get back home until 9:45PM last night.
