The sailing time is about 90 minutes. As we neared the fog bank in the middle of the Strait, passengers were ordered back from the front of the ferry, and this area was then roped off. I presume this was to avoid excessive injury to passengers in the event of a collision. In that case, I think there are many other things I'd be worried about :-(
Leaving Port Angeles behind, with Ediz Spit just visible on the far right of the picture.
Looking east along the Olympic Peninsula disappearing off into the clouds.
Looking west along the Olympic Peninsula, again disappearing in the fog and low clouds.
Coast Guard on patrol in the Strait. This seems to me to be a rather boring sort of job, but then I'm not a sailor...
Looking back towards Port Angeles and the Coast Guard vessel.
