The only way to get from Fidalgo Island to neighboring
Guemes Island is by this little ferry boat.
The ride only takes a few minutes as it's only
one kilometer from dock to dock,
but the channel between Anacortes and little Guemes
can have tidal flows of up to four knots
and the winds can blow quite strongly, too.
I always like to stop and watch the ferry
plow back and forth, especially when the channel waters are rough.
Today's watery photo shows a very calm day, though...

Great image of a great place. This is the kind of places I enjoy a lot when I have the opportunity to visit, Which is rarely. :(

I'm glad the water is smooth, otherwise I might get seasick looking at the photo. --- OK, you're right. I'm only kidding. ;-)
Lovely watery view of the ferry crossing!
