UPDATED: January 27, 2021.
This is the seventh of
a series of posts dealing my sixth trip to Seattle as an adult and first of two
trips that year. I’ve made minor corrections to these reports. Also, I’ve added
additional thoughts with the hindsight of two years later or to add further
clarification.
Woke up around 4:30ish
(probably in part because when I catch the Bainbridge ferry I'm supposed to
wake up around then; the body remembers).
Might have gotten a bit of sleep after that. Did wake up very briefly earlier due to some
nightmare I've decided not to make an effort to recall. Forgot I bought a set of combs so I'll need
to quickly recalculate the exchange (also never bad to get the most up to date
info), then I'm off!
[NOW: The above was
written in the morning; the rest I wrote in the evening.]
I made it to the Victoria
Clipper terminal in good time. One of
the people who let me into the boarding area seems to have comedian
aspirations. The boarding area was the
same as the security area on the way in, but since there were no Customs this
time, it seemed to be okay to snap a few discreet shots.
I sat on the upper
floor this time. A woman from the
Netherlands sat beside me. The 15 minute
cut off doesn't seem to be hard and fast; people were still coming on board
less than 10 minutes before the ferry was supposed to leave.
I chose the left side
because that was the side I was on the other direction and wanted to catch the
other view. As it turns out that was the
side the water sprayed the most. I had a
cereal breakfast on the ship. At Customs,
the guy hadn't heard about the Emerald City ComiCon before so most of his
questions were about that, which made the process pretty easy. No delays beyond of course between with no
stored luggage getting off first. I was
at work by 11:30.
[NOW: By work I meant I
was volunteering at Pacific Peoples' Partnership that day.]
I couldn't find my
soap container before leaving but conversely it seems my copy of The
Incredibles never left my apartment, so that's that mystery solved.
[NOW: I later gave out the unsigned copy as an Xmas gift.]
