First of all, I guarantee that your ferry ride will not be rough like what we delight in sharing below.

Whidbey is a mellow isle and the arrival by ferry is the granddaddy of all downshifts – a calm, still glide up to the Clinton ferry terminal.

BUT

we did have some fun earlier this year when the winds were just right and we all had a nice rock ‘n roll car wash. Quite refreshing!

Enjoy these photos but don’t anticipate any of this on YOUR arrival.

Rock ‘n rolling all the way to Mukilteo.

Burying the bow into the high seas.

Well, that was refreshing!

Here we go again!

yeehAHHH!

Then came the car wash!

How about a close up?

But, alas, this is not the way it usually is.

But it sure was fun!

As Robert Frost wrote:

In a Glass of Cider

“It seemed I was a mite of sediment
That waited for the bottom to ferment
So I could catch a bubble in ascent.
I rode up on one till the bubble burst
And when that left me to sink back reversed
I was no worse off than I was at first.
I’d catch another bubble if I waited.
The thing was to get now and then elated.”
