Bainbridge Ferry, Seattle WA.
Eric and I decided to take a sunset cruise tonight. So since it was last minute, we thought a ferry ride would be just the ticket. We raced down to catch the 8:10 sailing of the Bainbridge Island boat, but were caught in Mariners traffic – we watched as it sailed away. So we parked and waited for the next one. However during our trip, about halfway out there was a alarm sounded: MAN OVERBOARD! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! A small wave of panic and swept through the cabin as people tried to decide what to do. They had a hard time spotting her in the fast approaching twilight. The boat came to a stop and within 20 minutes, the rescue operation was completed. The person who fell overboard was taken care of by emergency personnel.
As for our sunset, it was obscured by clouds (who would guess?), but we enjoyed the twilight despite the drama.
