When you live in Bremerton it can really suck if you miss the ferry. Last night my good friend Jessika missed the boat. And she missed it by literally a minute.

First off I want to say the Ferry is very cool. I love that I can walk on a boat, take a beautiful ride across the Puget Sound and an hour later arrive in down town Seattle.

There are lots of times in the day to catch a ferry. The Boat runs back and forth practically all day. But there is this weird gap of time in the evening that can really mess up your whole night. In the evening leaving Seattle going to Bremerton there is a 10:30p.m. and a 12:50a.m. boat. So when going to Seattle you have to decide do you want to get home at 11:30 or basically 2:00am. That's a big gap! So when you miss the 10:30p.m. boat and your stuck with the 12:50a.m. boat that can really ruin your whole night.

Jessika is the Festival Fairy. She was at Seattle's yearly Folk Life Festival. And she missed the boat. She called me from the terminal to bitch and complain and I knew I had to save her. Bainbridge Island is a half hour drive from Bremerton and a half hour ferry ride from Seattle and there is no gap of boat times in the evening. So I told her to jump on the Bainbridge boat and Jake and I would come get her.

I could hear the grateful relief in her voice and got ready to go. We had to leave immediately. Now this is not just a 30 minutes drive to the ferry and a 30 minute drive back. This is a 1 hour and 45 minute round trip for us. But I love Jessika and Jake is totally cool with my girlfriends so we rescued her and got her home safe by midnight. You do that for a friend.
