The fog was thick for this morning’s 10:35am sailing of the Wenatchee from Bainbridge Island to Seattle. From my usual spot in the galley area, I occasionally glanced up from my Kindle to look out the window, only to be greeted with a thick gray cloud in my field of vision. As we got near shore on the Seattle side, I suddenly saw Ivar’s zipping past at a speed considerably faster than what I’d normally expect for the morning commute. The ferry gave 5 short blasts on the horn to indicate imminent collision, followed by a loud bang and a jolt to the ferry. Down the aisle someone shouted for a doctor on board.
I went out on the front of the ferry to see what happened. All things considered, the damage looks minor, as you can see in the pictures here. As far as I can tell only one woman was injured and the resulting injuries appeared to be minor.

I might be biased in saying Skillet Street Food is one of the best places in Seattle to grab great food since my wife works there and they bribed me with a ticket to the Sub Pop 20th anniversary show. Forbes agrees that Skillet’s great and it’s generally a good sign when non-food press is talking about a restaurant. Just past their 1st year in business, Skillet is still grabbing headlines with their outstanding food served from Airstream trailer on the streets of Seattle. And if you haven’t tried it, bacon jam is out of this world.
