 Just so you know, a ferry takes 90 seconds to come to a complete stop. If you do attempt to cross the bow of a ferry here en route, you will hear five short blasts. That's the captain trying to get your return attention, that is. To change your course, you are en route for a potential collision. Otherwise, with a Washington State ferry, they have the right of way. Remember, boater's card required, 15 horsepower or more for vessel. You need to have one just to prove the fact you've had some training and boating courses to explore and know what's going on, especially out on the sound as well as some of the lakes as well.
