You’ll have to wait a bit for the story, but I got the pictures back. I shot an entire single-use camera on the return trip. You can find them here: http://www.brucew.com/gallery/.

Gallery, by the way, is another of the 19 Ready-to-Run Web Applications that come with every web hosting account at my company, The Secret Labs. And as with this WordPress blog, I haven’t gotten around to any customizations so it doesn’t look like Scenic Route should. Someday I’ll have time…

To learn more about the ferry, see http://www.thebreeze.com/ or the photo and article archive at The Daily Fishwrapper. The “More coverage” link takes you to many articles they’ve written about it since 1998 when the project was first proposed.
