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.

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.”
